[QUOTE="Tathradj, post: 366863, member: 2436"] My Father liked to go bush and asked me to design him a portable Antenna for his CB Radio. AM Only. I measured off 11 meters of coax, Put a 259 connector with the feed end 11 meters long from connector to radio. Stripped off half the coax and also tuned it via the length of the outer braid. When ever he wanted to use it for a quick QSO, He would just check it over a small tree. When he was based for a few days, Used a sling shot and a bit of cord and strung it up. He managed to talk to quit a few people all over Australia with that and also the Kiwi's got in on the act a few times. LOL [/QUOTE]
