<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi John</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have one here in my garage and the total length
is 5300 mm made from sections of alli, the coil that is mounted at the
bottom is 5 windingsof 45mm diameter from 2 mm copper.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The coil is spread out in length of about 80 mm and
the SWR is done by hooking up the coax somewhere on the coil .</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This CB Arial is my old unit When I worked in
Europe the CB band longest distance I have worked was 5000 km with 2 watt
QSL card to prove it.succes Cheers Rolf </FONT></DIV>

Antennas</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=WordSection1>
<P class=MsoNormal>Anyone out there remember the 26/27mhz base station
antennas. Probably made be several antenna manufactures under various brand
names.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I have the �remnants� of one and would like to rebuild it.
About 16-18ft length consisting of aluminum tubing of different diameters
telescoped together. The mounting bracket was �right angle� with a female
UHF/PL259 socket for terminating the 50 ohm co-ax, and from memory was �shunt
fed� with 4 or 5 turn coil about 2-3ins. In diameter with a adjustable slider
to allow tuning for minimum SWR. If I remember correctly it was recommended to
mount it on a 2-3ins. Diameter length of galv. Water pipe which was probably
the �ground plane� other half of the antenna.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>So, if anyone has the original dimensions of the vertical
section and the coil, I would be most grateful<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Cheers,<o:p></o:p></P>
