Free Free 102" antenna

[HeavyIron]

102" stainless steel CB antennas. I have four of them, free in So Cal that someone can pick up. Not going to ship. I would hate to recycle them.

Did I mention free?

1/4 λ @ 11m.

As God Intended.

Wish I was closer, I'd snaffle those in a heartbeat.

Yeah, apparently that's the ideal length for proper SWR..

That's a true 'whip' antenna.

I have a 102" Firestik which I have never put on my mount which is on the rear top edge of my hard to about 6ft off the ground. Which means it could hit a lot of legal bridge/overpasses here. The plan was to find away to carry it along and once out in the boonies swap from the 5fter to it but I still haven't bothered.

Would a tether work to get you to the boonies?

That’s a very kind gesture of you! I just bought another vintage CB to add to my small collection.
Exactly the one in this vintage Radio Shack ad. This is my first SSB. I should be able to talk to some of ya’ll !!

What does one do with a vintage CB? I'd give it away with these antennas...

For me, I like to listen to all the people talking (mostly from down South)
Locally there’s hardly any action. It also brings back the memories of the 70’s for me, the height of the CB era. My first CB was a Johnson Messenger 4230 40CH base station, hooked to a 30FT mast with a 1/2 wave antenna. I was in Radio Shack almost every day haha!
73’s

These whip antennas have moved on to greener pastures.

No longer available.

Of course today I found my Cobra 149gtl while cleaning out part of the garage!
