    With an antenna like that and a little foot warmer you could talk to the whole world! Absolutely superb, I am jealous the winds in mouth of the canyon I live near would take it down. Near Ogden Utah 30 miles from me there is a canyon near a train freight yard , the winds have blown over in loaded freight trains

      @@kennybobby9397 I am not sure my self. I am guessing and at my age maybe I shouldn't be guessing. I have no real way to compare CB in Canada and in the U.S.? Or if it is the internet and that so much is on the internet and not so much on CB? Do you have an email address because cannot find it in your about tab on UA-cam. I could ask some questions maybe to you about how CB communications are today. I have Uniden pro 520 xl and I do not pick up anything hardly and I am usually tuned to channel 19 when I have the CB on.

      Hello Mower Junkie, This is Steve,18 South Central Pennsylvania otherwise known as kb3hay... Question for you, I noticed that you have a Royce 1-621.. I used to own 4 if then, how do you like that radio? I know that they use a pill type final output transistor in the radio and when peaked up they really talk for a AM radio.

    Question was swr same on both polarities ?? It has been my experience as soon as the horizontal goes verticle the last pipe holding acts as reflection to the antenna and may need tuning

      It has just the two positions with the current configuration. I am searching for an inexpensive actuator to electrically control the rotation, it rolls too fast into the vertical position.
