As the Holidays are upon us, I find that I am busy in my shop again
contructing Carolina Cylone II screwdriver antennas. This is the 3" version that works so well for those people that just must have the BEST mobile HF signal around. Built of tough materials, this antenna will be with you thru many automobile trades (the installation of radios actually saves me money because it makes me reluctant to trade cars! LOL!) And it will give you that excellent signal you always wanted! And, yes, it will beat those "skinny" little 1 1/2" dia ones wound with #16 wire. You will find that your Cyclone II is a full 3" diameter and wound with #14 wire. Spacing is 8 Turns per Inch. Forms are tough, but resilient, black nylon and are also resistant to UV rays. Some other competitors use those flexible don't-squeeze-the-Charmin covers made of Butyl. These will discolor, crack, and disintegrate in about a year. Cyclone II uses covers of a full 1/8" wall thick-ness and will remain clear AND protect your antenna from rain, snow, dirt, dust and UV rays. No replacing your cover for many years. I also beat the competitors' prices by quite a few $$$$$$$$. Cyclone II only costs $350 shipped to the lower 48 states. Now if you are one of those who operates mostly 40 thru 10 Meters (as well as 6 Meters) with occasional forays onto 75 Meters, you will find that Cyclone I will be an excellent choice, and will deliver surprising performance on all bands! This one has all of the features previously mentioned in a package of 2" diameter including the durable cover. It, too, is reasonably priced at only $240 shipped within the lower 48 states. Visit www.qsl.net/k4kwh to see photos of this excellent product and to order. I am moderately busy in the shop, so you can give yourself a Christmas present this year by purchasing one of my Carolina Cyclone antennas, and "give" me a 'present' by keeping my shop busy. At any rate, Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year. Jerry K4KWH www.qsl.net\k4kwh |
