A given Imax 2000 CB antenna with homebrew 5 meter radials ( teflon wire with silvered copper wire in it, as used in The European planes) work 10/12/15/17 with that, on 10 this year Japan, Australia, New Sealand, India, Hong Kong, China, all europe and Eurasia, Iceland, North and South America, South africa, Carabeans, Curacao, Suriname, etc, even a few Membershere from the Island.
t wil tune on 20 but there the OCF works better.
I still have a 3 element beam here, but untill i clean out the 2 and 70 beams out of the mast on the roof, no space to put it up.
A vertical works fine, low angle of radiation good for DX.
