Well a I had to make a choice with what we can get hear as freight costs r stupid.. So I'm going to buy a local antenna :sorry: its called a shockwave 5/8 made in oz and I have heard them booming over the air, you can see there range on web cost is $239 + $38 post that's Ozzy cash they make another called hussler 5btv for $375 but have not spoke to builder yet about this one.. Yea, so one of the above and my dads mate ( a real old school cb'er) has plans for a box been like I have seen on hear he recons the box is buy far the best so I will have one ( yet to be built ) so I have room for 1 other ?? Keep the stick I use now or dipole ? Or big been ? What's killer ? 10+11 m for the GRANT2 full export ?
It will be hear next week... Can't wait...:plane:

That it one of the best 5/8 antennas I could find in oz, ( After 2 weeks homework) The builder is peter very nice bloke easy to chat with . He knows his stuff as you can see buy the pix, and as I said its been changed a little with some upgrades since pics... When its all together I'm hoping the skip will play the game and I will be able to contact a few junkys out there ! Got the tracking info and radio will be hear early week ! Yeee haaarrr now that's fast... Like a big kid .. The old cleaned antenna was working well last night slip from all over the mainland (Australia) but not much international DX at all... We will b keeping an ear open for you guys.. So have a shout out every so often for " Solar radio 351 southern Tasmania, AUSTRALIA ( Down under )
Cheers guys... Darryl
