Hi, I have a Fan in my 6 way power adapter, but it interferes with my Radio like mad, I've tried moving it away from it, but that don't work... Is there anything I can do to stop it?

Ahaaa sweet!

Hi, thanks for your reply :) I have since given up in the loft, and moved it downstairs, and stuck it to my Radiator, the Antenna is on the floor but the SWR is about 1.4, and last night I managed to talk to someone in Basildon (10 miles away) He said I gave him a reading of 9, what ever that means ...

Does this mean on;y some Antenna's work in lofts? That might be why mine isn't working!

I like that, I wish I could find one like that lol.!

Hey, I am looking at getting a new Antenna as I can't get mine to work, also I think it's the wrong one... I was looking at this one http://www.thunderpole.co.uk/base-cb-antennas/thunderpole-58-wave-hi-gain.html Does it come with any wire? Because I'll need a lot... Lol. Is not what wire should I use?

Okay, so I got my SWR Meter in the post this morning, this time it's reading well over 3!

I think it's my ground plane, can you please give me tips on how to ground a magmount whip antenna? There is no grounding points on it!

Hey!

Anyone from around my area?
