    I just talked to someone 11 miles away and it was clear as a bell and he said he had me strong an clear on his end. In a week or 2 I might open my on channel shop. Just bring in several different shaft lengths and some zip ties I get u going. Pics to follow :)

    Hustler and K40 make shafts in various lengths and they are compatible with the Wilson antenna

    Thanks for telling me this, cause it will save me money if I just raise what I got vs buying predator whole antenna and shaft

    There is no other shaft compatible with The Predator 10-K antenna.

    Wow. That's fine performance, with excellent SWRs. Lots of drivers would be envious. Are you using the 1x4 amp to get out so well at 11 miles?
