Another truck driver was trying to back in next to me and he hit my Predator 10K. The bottom coils got pushed over ( out of round ). I tried to straighten them out as best as I could, Would this cause any harm to the antenna?

Cb,

Check your SWR and if it is good you should have no problem.

And check out the CEF Net Connections area for information on the September CEF MID-WEST Regional Gathering.

Would be nice to see you again.

Thanks Lon,

My SWR is almost flat, so I guess I'm ok.
I tried a different antenna for a while, and when I put the Predator back on I really noticed the difference. I love that antenna !!!
