Steve,
I couldn't find any RG8 in town so I made a couple with RG6, I just couldn't stand waiting. Do you know the difference in the shielding wire and why you recommended the 8? Thanks again for sharing all this info, good stuff. Casey

Great information. I made a couple of these and have tried them out a time or two. They are a very big improvement over the stock antenna. Thanks for posting.
