Do I need to do anything? A Yes. You must tune your antenna to your vehicle. The antenna is pre-tuned on a test bench to make certain it is within the general frequency specifications. It will be somewhat different on your vehicle because of the difference in the ground plane and surroundings. Always check your antenna ... even if you move it from one location on your vehicle to another. Q Can I use any kind of wire to hook my antenna to my radio? A No! For single antenna installations we recommend RG-58 A/U type coaxial cable. If you are running dual antennas (cophased) you must use RG-59 A/U type coax. Make sure you buy the best cable too. We see numerous problems caused by low grade coax. Don’t cut corners when it comes to coax. Q Is the length of the coax cable important? A We find that it is very important ... especially with high performance top-loaded antennas. Your safest bet is to use 18 feet (5.5 meters) coaxial leads on all of your CB installations. 9 A Unless you are using a no-ground plane system, it is extremely important. Ungrounded mounts will usually cause SWR to be high across all channels. Q I have a couple of different antennas and I’ve noticed that there are times when one works better over long distances than the other. However, it isn’t consistent, Why is this happening? A Every antenna design has a different angle of radiation and it stays pretty constant unless the antenna is moved. What keeps changing is the ionosphere height. Your signal is bouncing off of the ionosphere and the varying height of it changes the angle at which the signal bounces back to earth. You have no control over this. An antenna might work long distances on one day, and not the next. Q I’ve tried to find some books that will teach me how to set my SWR, process coax connectors and offer some tips on antenna installations. Most of what I’ve seen is pointed towards the engineer or technician. Do you know where I can find some help that is written in layman terms? A We know the problem. Firestik wrote a simple book titled “Measuring SWR and Things Every CB’er Should Know” to help you better understand antenna installations. The entire contents of that publication is available on our web site (www.firestik.com) under various headings that are accessible from our Tech Help page. Printed copies are available from the factory for $3.00. Q I only needed 9 feet of coax to go from my radio to my antenna. How should I handle the excess? A What ever you do, do not roll it into a small convenient coil. It will become an RF choke. If you cannot let it lie loose under a seat or in a headliner, wrap it into a yarn-like skein of about 12 to 16 inches, put a wire tie in the center and tuck it under your dash, seat, etc. Q My system has very high SWR, but I only talk very short distances. Since distance isn’t important, should I be concerned about high SWR? A Absolutely! High SWR limits distance and may cause serious damage to your transmitter. The time spent tuning your antenna is time well spent. Don’t take the chance. Q What is/are the most common errors you find on CB installations? A In order of most to least common, 1) antenna not tuned to vehicle, 2) mounting locations chosen for convenience or appearance versus effectiveness, 3) coax cable ... low quality, worn out, wrong length, or severely pinched, 4) standard antennas used on vehicle with no ground plane instead of special no-ground-plane system. Q There are a lot of different antennas available for CB. Are some better than others? A Without a doubt, top loaded antennas are better than center loaded antennas, and center loaded antenna are better than base loaded antennas. Also, within each style, the taller the antenna the better it will generally perform. Q How important is it to have the antenna mount grounded to the vehicle?

Puzzle from Page 12 The Moab Easter Jeep Safari was started in 1967 by the Moab Chamber of Commerce as an attempt to promote something new for our economy. With the help of the BLM and their dozer a handful of Chamber members worked to connect the road to Hunter Canyon with the road to Pritchett Arch. Pritchett Arch Trail was the 1st and only trail that year. I’ve been told about 80 participants showed up that year. It was such a success more trails were added the next year including Moab Rim. The Chamber ran the Safari thru 1984, when the BLM requirements including a permit made it impossible to continue. With the help of a small new 4-wheel drive club (Red Rock 4-Wheelers) the transition was complete. RR4W ran their first Jeep Safari in 1984; we barely had enough members for trail leaders, lost money that year, but the bug had bitten us all. By 1985 we were more organized and printed our first Jeep Safari Paper. Then the Safari was a few hundred participants on big Saturday only and the Club was about a dozen families. Now the Safari is over 9 days and includes 30 trails and the Club has grown to over 600 members. We have seen many changes over the years, some good, some bad. One thing hasn’t changed: We still enjoy sharing our love of 4-wheeling with our old and new friends as much now as we did back then.
