Fellow down the road is selling a 5/8 omni antenna $50.00
He doesn't know anything else about it other than it is 35 years old.
It looks to be approx. 20 ft. It has 4-5 ft. radials and at the top are 3 diamond squarish wire shapes. I would like to find some specs on this unit. Can anyone help
Thanks |

The Hy-gain Penetrator has 9 foot radials and the static top hat is three little short wires. I believe all of Hy-Gain groundplanes had those wires on top. One of Radio Shack's Archer antennas had those three little diamond shaped boxes on top. I remember another antenna had those also but the name escapes my old timers memory at the moment.

I do not know the answer to that but I have a question for you Dale. You once told me what time you are on side band and the channel. Would you please let me know again. I got my beam up and perhaps on a good day we might make contact. Sprinterlight, did you do a Google on old antenna's and their picture's and compare? |

Sounds like a JC Penny too. It had short GP radials and a hat.
