Callum silver rod 1/2 wave

Post by indiawhiskey »

Hi Callum(and guys) I see from your signature that you use the Silver rod 1/2 wave. Well lo behold, I was doing a house move on Saturday when the house owner spotted my sirio 4000(Stevie Wonder would spot that lol) on the van. So of he goes to his shed and hands me a silver rod still in the(damp)box. So ? is. I run a Hembro 5/8 which I dont really like,so would you rather the silver rod.? I,m a bit of a radio nostalgia man and always liked this aerial.(Tho my search for an Astro Plane continues) Cheers Callum and Guys

I use the GPA 1/2 wave (like the old Silver rod, but without those pricky little groundplanes), and it's a very competant antenna. the 5/8 MAY be a better antenna (well, it was built by a bloke so obviously "The bigger, the better" ;-)), but if it was free I'd use it just BECAUSE it was free! :D
