Hello Friends,
The retrofit of the "9 FOOT MILITARY WHIP ANTENNA" is now completed and installed.
This type of Antenna is the type mounted on heavy military trucks.
It is almost 9 feet long and it has a special fiber rope which fastens to the tip and it pulls the tip of the antenna down and forms the antenna into a half loop or circle and ties down to the chasis of the vehicle.
You may have seen these types of antennas in war photos or movies.
It works perfectly with either the Vehicles AM / FM radio.
And it also works with my "COBRA 148 GTL" C.B. radio.
I will dedicate the antenna for the C.B. radio.
Here are the photos for your pleasure.
As always your comments and questions are always appreciated.
