W2AU 4:1 Balun4 viewsI wasn't ready to experiment making my own balun -- yet. Maybe next time. Thanks to Art Reno at HRO Anaheim for providing some assistance with this project.

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.

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).

Center loaded CB antenna3 viewsThe center-loaded CB antenna isn't actually a Wilson 2000, but resembles one in construction very closely. It's actually a discontinued Radio Shack antenna #21-804. I found it in my garage still in the package. I'd prefer to use my 102" steel whip, but the SWR on the center-load is a little better. Signal reports between the 102" and the center load are only 1dB difference, favoring the 102". According to the package, this "High power Mirror Mount CB Antenna" handles up to 2000 watts.
