Amateur Radio 10M/6M Vertical Antenna

gamer_jim · Nov 13, 2021

I'm in the market for a 10M and 6M vertical antenna. Right now looking at this from Diamond:

$250

Any thoughts or other recommendations?

Couple of stolen aerials off of cars and duct tape would afford you the same thing

I have used CB radio antennas to work 10M. Others have posted results.

True, but if someone is looking for a combo 10 and 6 I don't think that will be optimal.

Going the 10/11 only route, I have a NIB Tram 1498-B that I have decided not to use. Specs are Black Base Antenna 18-Foot tunable 26 MHz to 31 MHz 5.75 dBd Gain. I ordered it back in June of 20 and it was backordered for a whole year. I found another antenna with a tuneable coil in stock several places, ordered it and went to cancel the 1498-B, but it had been pulled for shipping that very day and could not be stopped.

5/8 x 10 / 6 = 1.04

My gut says there's a decent ratio for dual-banding in there somewhere.

18 feet is about 5.5 meters

That's what the Jeep is for ... to support your antenna.

The reviews here https://www.eham.net/reviews/view-product?id=9578 seem to be good with the exception of one guy who couldn't get it resonant on 10M.

Thanks. A very useful review. It will help me in the future. By the way what radio company do you recommend for a civilian vehicle?
