I forgot to mention it was an abandoned stretch of tracks on an abandoned railroad Trestle insulated from ground. the guy said it took the FCC quite a long time to figure out where that signal was coming from.
I tuned a Dodge van with a gamma match off my Moonraker 6 when it was off the tower for ice repairs. Bolted to the rear bumper, used a mfj to get it resonating. Parked on a hill in Nashville TN and worked skip from Cali all day with a cobra 29 and Galaxy Pluto on ssb. Back in the 80's. Used a gamma match on a 79 Pete coe with a Texas Star 500 and cobra 78x for a few years too. Could raise total hell in a truckstop at night and never be suspect because I had no antennas.
Found a video on Fine Tune facebook page of before and after on a Stryker ( i think). It was very very clean and mean after the tune up! Wondering if he can do any good with a Cobra 29 because all the videos are of exports and HP radios?
Tryin to het a reply from mark is like pulling teeth from a chicken.. I have a stryker 955/tx star 350hdv and a cobra 29 with a midnigjt special 250 i want him to do his magic on..Just cant get a reply...Its been said he makes 1 attempt to call and if you dont answer your outta luck...Being from canada i dont have my cell on in thestates cause of the cost factor and when im sleepin it off...Chances are ill miss or missed his call.. So fustraiting tryin to learn this cb/ant stuff with books and not understanding 99% of it..Sometimes ill get that lightbulb moment and figire stuff out.. I would just love some mark magic on my stryker 955,really wanna use it as designed..
Odd..bells seemed to have a good rep..Not hearing from mark,bells was my next shop to look into..Maybe ill wait a few more months for a possible reply..Been sorta effed over already by other shops....
Im not to worried about the cobra..My concern is my stryker and if i should bother with haveing him match my tx star with it or just let him do his magic on the radio alone..
