I use a modulator now the voyager and have had some good results. What's the TZ27 like?

I use a 1.65m Voyager and a 6" mag and have had it up to 90MPH. So in a word, yes they do work, and my swr is about 1.2 accross the UK40.

WOW!

my longest contact was only 78 miles! bit of a way to go.

I have a tank whip at 9ft long, I put it in my garage door when I want to use the radios which is only for a couple of hours a week so how would that stand, I have an old ham operator next to me who apparently doesn't like cb'ers or any radio operators any more!

LIFE

I am only 15 and while I wholly admire what you guys do and support it so, I could never do it myself, however I am a member of a reenactment group and go to various military shows with WW2 allied vehicles, so all in all good fun, My parents have a 1944 Willys Mb & 1944 Bedford MW. Bit of fun ...

My 3/8 fitting has rusted up inside, it is probably as old as me!! So it has done quite well.

Hi guys my first bash a dx'ing but it is also designed for my bigger tent to be along side when I go camping with the Military vehicles. Here's a few pics to start off will add some more soon.

Yeah I go DX'ing, I take my Lincoln and Lake Manxman 950 up 5m of rg58 to a 115cm steel pole with a 5/8 silver rod and some guy ropes stick all my radios in a cheapo pop up ten from argosh and a great day dx'ing, the other thing to add is that it all packs down into the box the rod comes in and the ...

No it's not, we have a VW Touran, but the jeep I have is a 1944 Willys MB, is stick the mag in the back corner and the body as it is all steel is fantastic as a groundplane and the modulator looks just right, mainly for convoy work but i have had a 12 mile contact on it so all gd, hope you have good ...

Stick it in the middle of the roof and your swr should be fine, i have roofbars aswell but my swr is 1.2:1 and that is a mag with a modulator on it.

I wouldn't worry about a mag, i use one from the late 80's that hadn't been used for years, it's 6" with a modulator (1.65m) on it and i have had it up to 90mph in the rain, um I mean 77mph. He He

My 5/8 rod arrived just over a week ago and have finally got all the bits so, today putting it all together, I have got a 115cm steel pole that has the 5/8 rod bolted to it, with nylon guy ropes and metal sliders for tensioning, holding it up and steady, have just ordered an earth spike from maplins ...

SORTED!! Sent the ERF mount back and Thunderpole have sent a 5/8 silver rod down, I will then put it on a steel (or alluminium) scaff pole stabbed in the ground with some nylon rope as guy wires and there we go!

Cheers Thunderpole!
