This is for owners of the New Big Stick who have used it and tested it throughly. Are you happy with it? Would you buy it again? Please, keep this discussion on the topic. Big stick owners it's your chance to be heard.

I'm really surprised no one owns this antenna who frequents this site.

No, I bought an Astroplane. Big sticks are popular here in Mississippi.

Hey big stick owners, what is the highest frequency you can talk on without getting over a 3:1 swr? Can any of you go over 28.800 without a tuner? Especially on the new nbs-2010?

If you wanted to go higher in frequency with the big stick, would it hurt the 5/8 wavelength design to trim from off some from the top whip? Anyone tried this?

I run a Super Big Stick here in Colorado. Been in CB for 30 years and it the Best antenna I have ever run. PERFECT match all over the band. Strongly built, good recieve and transmit. Highly recomend it.
