AM/SSB HF Aerials

AM / SSB 26.5MHz CB aerials

What's the best aerial for my vehicle?

Basic Rules:

Top loaded (helical wire-wounds) antennas perform better than center loaded antennas, center loaded antennas perform better than base loaded antennas.

Taller antennas perform better than shorter antennas.

Antennas mounted higher perform better than if mounted lower.

Single antennas perform better when mounted as close to center as possible on metal vehicles.

Fiberglass and aluminum vehicles, or those with little available ground plane need "no ground plane" or ground plane independent antenna systems.

The physical length of the antenna should be determined by the likelihood of repetitive hitting of overhead objects and/or the type and strength of the antenna mount itself.

At least two-thirds of the antenna should be above a vehicles roof line for optimum performance.

If the antenna/mount combination is available in a kit form, you will normally save money by purchasing it as a kit.

Pacific Aerials

Pacific Aerials are world leaders in the design and manufacture of communications antennas. Since 1977, they have built antennas that satisfy the requirements of the most demanding users, by being innovative, flexible and quality focused.

Every antenna they make has outstanding electrical performance and mechanical durability built in. ISO 9001 accreditation, gained in 1994, ensures that the quality engineered into each design is maintained in every antenna and accessory that comes out of the factory.
