Cascadia dipole?

Would that tuned rf be the wore thats been mentioned before not long ago??
The wire that connected to the bottom of a ant stud that was directed away from the coax deal....
How would you tune rf??

 

You take the AA and make it a length that resonates at 27.2 Then you put it on the antenna.It doesn't have to be a full wave or even a half wave, a quarter will do.

Craig, I got to say something else because I am wondering if you are looking at this all wrong because of the amount of info you are getting from everyone. A lot of it is confusing, so have you actually had a second person involved with helping you?

 

I always figured a mobile dipole would be a pita to work out, so I never messed with one. Mounting location would be too low for one, and with the changes of the ground (earth) surface, as you mention, performance would vary...alot.

In your last paragraph, are you talking about something like 1 or more, g-p radials? That would be an interesting idea to try.

 

Gettin most of it from here but things come through just me thinkin......most reading and the arrl book is way over my head..just dont have ant theory to lay back on..

 

Just stopped at a rest area here in ontario canada..Had a thought..Let see how my set up puts out on a field strength meter....Now i just was messing around as i sat in the trk but my set up sucks!!!!!
As you will see in the pics im just not sendin out the powa!!!!
Radio wide open and fs meter wide open the needle barely moves when i dead key and doesnt go far when i speak....Never thought of useing it..Now in ticked off at my crap set up even more..
Well ill be layed over in mississauga till monday morn so ill have time to come up with a plan..

 

..Did same set up but just had fs meter goin from left to right vs front to back as above..
Each time everything was maxed out and was done with dead key then when i spoke..weird how i go sode ways better than front to back..

 

what antenna were you using ???there are better antennas out there than a predator !!! just saw one in the Window at mesa cb in wildweed looks like the antenna rabbi had on the kenworth longer shaft and a thicker center core though... I might look into getting one when their open after the holidays. and when I can get through there ...

 

Dont know if i would go better cause with a few minor differences it was compared to the 108 whip or is it the 102..
Now it might be better for the crapcadia but thats gettin deep into stuff i dont know..

Yes im back to my old set up..tried to get the 7ft to work out but no luck and it was to cold and gettin dark..So i went back to the original deal to get me by..

 

probably was the best thing you could do. you heard radio man twice and he was 20 plus miles away... weather or not you could reach him back I guess doesn't matter ............

 

It matters....Its in my head that i can do close to that both tx/rec more often..Like you said once....You called me a stubborn kanook..
