Solarcon A99

I,ve had one for about 15 yrs. I use everyday talked all over the world with it.The one I got now got gave to me .Been talking off of it for along time. I would get another one today. The thing I would do this time is is put a kit on it.Were I did,nt do before.

I have had one of these in the air for over 20 years. Yeah the glass starts giving out after 10 years or so, got past this by sealing it with heat shrink tubing.

well after a few weeks its been a pain factory defect lets water in but not out. a shame it was working real well

dont let the price and the bad rap fool you this is a good ant. maybe the old ones did stink and yes the 9.9 db gain is a joke. id say more like 2 db maybe three, but i put my up it worked great good swr right out of the box no need to adjust it. seems to be built better than the old antron a99 i have seen. good price on copper too even with shipping it was less than my local ham / cb shop. hey copper throw in the ground plane kit and 50 ft of feed line make a package deal at a bit of a discount. vs. buying singe items and i bet these things would fly outta your stock room!

i have had this antenna for about 8 years now and i am more then happy with it. i bought it when i first started into radios and i will always stick with it. probably the best money i ever spend on a piece or radio equipment
