Moonlight and Clouds4 viewsThis is also one of my favorite shots of the trip. Exposure was 20 seconds on the DSC-W1. I suppose the distant headlights may be in San Juan Capistrano. The city lights towards the left is probably San Clemente (my hometown).

31 viewsInitially, the antenna was installed on a 5' pole. I've since replaced the 5' with a 10'. Due to building restrictions, I can't go higher.

IMAX 2000 Tuning Rings28 viewsSince the antenna was installed only 5' off the roof, the tuning rings were adjusted to compensate for SWR problems. After tuning (and raising the antenna to 10'), the SWR was a nice 1.2:1 at 28.4MHz.

Comet B-10 and RS-730 Mount2 viewsThis antenna/mount combo is a great match. EASY to install and very sturdy when using either the B-10 or my 5/8 wave.

Antenna Wire4 viewsI used 14 awg stranded copper wire for the antenna. I've since removed the wire nuts and soldered the connections. The length is 56' total. My attic is only ~60' across, so I used as much space as possible in the attic for the antenna.

Wiring through firewall1 viewsUsing a coat hangar, I was able to fish the 8 AWG cables through a rubber gromet in the firewall, down past the glove box and under/through the passenger door threshold.

CB'er caught in the act6 viewsMarked! As we rounded the hairpin turn on Modjeska peak (main divide truck trail), we noticed an old van with a full size vertical antenna parked near a tower. After spinning through the bands, we found it was "Giuseppe" from CB channel 17. Apparently, he was "dropping the maul" on channel 17. We didn't stop to say hi.
