Hello,
Can someone steer me in the right direction regarding antennas.
I have a 102" s.s. whip that I put up on an aluminum pole with 108" radials. From the ground to the top of the whip is 23 feet. I have a Realistic trc-57 base model. Coax is rg58-au new. Ive run a # 6 gauge copper wire to a ground rod. swr is dead on 1.5 Problem is I do not hear much chatter at all . I understand not many people use cb's anymore but I thought I would pick something up with the SSB mode. I've been told they can reach
hundreds of miles. I'm sure someone is on the air in that range. I would like to blame it on the antenna, but I honestly don't know
Does anyone have a detailed plan for an antenna that I can build
