Anyone have an opinion on al capones

[coolbreeze]

yeah im already at 86" ive never been able to get my 55's down below 1.1 and their not very widebanded although my mfj might be a little flakey its the old one with no advanced modes only gives impedance magnitude but my birds only show about 4 watts back with 3kw dead key so i tend to just leave it be i ocasionally get a little rf like the wipers popping on but that only happens once in a blue moon so i was thinking about trying the BAC's or adding a cap to the antennas

first answer all capones are swamp antennas. so are starguns.


and doughboy if you only have 4 watts at 3000w dk. thats actually much lower reflect then I look for. you are actually loosing gain Id have about 25-30 watts


using a mfj to tune 2 antennas isnt always the best way. best is with a bird.

unless you are over 5kw a cap wont help much. I dont run one on the keydown truck

i always use an analizer first . sometimes you might be 1.0 on 26.7500 flat to 27.2050 and you will not no it if your only looking at an analog bird meter telling you have 1 to 3 watts reflect ! but the Bird Meter didn't tell you that you where resonating below channel 1 , not good .

the one thing the mfj is good for is checking the ohms of the antenna system.

Doughboy asks a ????????? about antenna's and now we going off the topic here .

we are not asking you about your opinion what you think about starguns or ya theory about using air variable caps , this is not cbrc , thank you very much !!!

again you missed what i said and i refuse to talk to narrow minded people that think they no it all .

you can have excellent ohms and be talking resonating below the 27 mhz band . i trust my analizer anyday of the week before i take advise from a bird watt slug meter . time for you to go back to bandcamp breeze and start learning how to set up an antenna system and stop relying on Terry at 55 to tell you how to tune ya truck .

HV im only going to say this once and you can then go band camp all you want.

1. my post was a comment to a prior post.
2. looks like your starting to ride the coat tails fo the rdx
3. all of your antenna beliefs have done nothing but get you cut clean off. so the proof of your choices is obvious.
4. this is a new forum. dont be a moron so quickly!!!
5. i smell jealousy
