MYSTERY ANTENNA

[doctor]

Someone offered me a cb antenna, what kind

It is approximately 12 foot in length, bottom section a foot. t has 4 grnd plane attachments, looks like a few small coils on the gamma match, and the top of the antenna looks like an egg beater attached??
Any ideas on this mysterious guest or it's name???

Thanks

If you're referring to coils on the 4 radials, then it sounds like an Antenna Specialists Mighty Magnum. I believe it should be about 17' long.

Hey Dotcor why not asks the someone that offered to sell it too you? 12' don't sound like a CB antnenna to me. Who told you it was for CB?

Joe Gunn makes a ground plane called the Pistol that is about that long, but it don't have any coils on the gamma match and the top don't look like no egg beater either. www.jogunn.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=10&category_id=3&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=26



How much did someone what for it?

What kind of antenna are you looking for?

A picture sure would help.

The 12 foot part would make it a 1/3rd wave unless it has a load to compensate, that might be what the coils are for. The egg beater looking top is a static loop. It may or may not be for CB, might be a ground plane for a higher band. That's about all I can guess.

I would say it is a antenna specialist antenna.
The price FREE, plus 50 feet of coax and a push up pole 25 feet, will pick it up this week.
I already have a good antenna, Sirio 2016, also a loop antenna for dx also.
