Just a quick word to say totally disagree with KK5F's comments about
the Outbacker antennas.
I and many of my club mates use them on a daily basis and they certainly
do work.
I am mobile at work and consistantly get excellent reports using my
Outbacker on 40 and 20 mtrs over a 500-800 mile path from my Mitsi
outlander with 100w and a TS 50.
I also have had many DX contacts on 20 and 15 mtrs while driving around
Western Australia.
Just cos you have had no luck dont paint the antenna black. Many many
people use them daily and get excellent results, including Police, Army,
and Emergency Services.
It even may have saved a life once as it has the RFDS ( Royal flying
doctor service) tap and I was able to call for help with a heart attack
patient.
I also have a Tarheel 200HP and that works well too.
I'm surprised you made such a categoric statement about how bad the
Outbacker was.
I will send your comments to Terry at Outbacker ( only 10 miles from
here ) for his consideration.
Maybe he will contact you.
probably not.
