I had one in the late 80s and could work 1500 miles no problem. I found it in the hanger a while back and put it together, the ring was missing. Made another one and put it up to day. Will try it out soon with the same radio, Realistic HTX-100 that always worked well, even worked the same 1500 miles mobile with a whip on top of my car.

Great looking antenna Jon

Nice video. Very helpful. I will be adding one of these to my base station this weekend. Cheers. 73.... KC1GVA

I have a couple of the AR-10 and dug one out and put it up @10ft. Tuned flat at 28.500 and set to 200in and 7in on the ring per the manual. It out performs my OCFD hanging off the tower @40ft by a pretty good margin.

Keep us posted how you get on with it...Thanks

Keep it up, @rigsearch
