ProComm PT99 CB Base Antenna

Do it!

Incredible half wave antenna. Add the ground plane kit and you'll be quite impressed with the performance of this antenna. I can routinely make sideband contacts in the 900 - 1400 mile range. As well, remember, "height is might" when it comes to this antenna. Monut this as high as you possbily can!

PT99 CB BASE ANTENNA

I have had this antenna for about 3 weeks now. So far, not a single problem with this product! My setup goes like this, since I have no roof access I bought a MFJ fiberglass telescoping antenna stand for the backyard and mounted the PT99 no that, found a semi clear spot in the backyard That was the only hard part. Pushed the antenna up where the bottom feed coax was no less than 8 ft off the ground. Also running RG58 at 75 ft with two 1 foot sections of RG213U starting at the feed point. Trick; where the RG58 starts I added a 6 ferrite beads and created a loop with one ferrite bead at the radio. This killed any common mode current problems from a long coax run. SWR Ch-1 1.0 Ch 40 1.2 Ch 20 1.10 AM I'm getting out 10 to 15 miles SSB I'm getting out skipping all most a thousand miles! On 10 to 12 volts, hard to do in California. Bottom line is I would buy another PT99 if lighting hits this one!!! Echo Bravo Whiskey 426.
