Excellent Antenna

13 June 2022  | 

Setting up a home base station the choice of antennas was huge. I kept coming back to the thunderpole 5 so ended up ordering it. Quality was good,and assembly was easy. The SWR has always been very low even on a 20 m run. It receives well,transmits well and looks
nice and pleasing to the eye up on the roof . A good around performer in my opinion.

I Purchased the Thunderpole 5 after some research I needed something to take high winds and to be easy on the eye (keep the wife happy) this antenna hit all the right marks.
I cut the whip to the exact size using the instructions that came with the antenna and found it very easy to install.
once I got the whole thing mounted high up on my wall I checked the SWR 1.0 perfect, I transmit and receive very well, I would highly recommend this antenna.

I brought this antenna for my mum as before she was working off a magmount in the loft during this pandemic and wanted to improve her station. Didn't want to spend big money. Saw this fibreglass antenna at a low price, please don't think it's cheap and cheerful and won't perform like the other well known expensive antennas, well it does , good reports so far 15 /25 miles away. So I do recommend this one and actually I will be purchasing one for myself when i go camping as quick to put together and cutting the steel whip to tune was simple with cutting chart supplied on the back of instructions and ended up with a good SWR 👍. Thanks Thunderpole.

My order arrived swiftly. I was replacing my home base antenna with a thunder pole 5. The antenna was extremely easy to put together and trim. After putting it up on the side of the house I tested the swr. It was sky high. I called thunder pole and spoke to Colin for advice, I learned more in a 5 minute conversation with him than I had in 10 years of cb'ing. As a result swr is practically zero. Getting and sending strong signals. Thanks to thunder pole!! Great service and excellent advice.

It receives 1-2 spoints better then the A99
Rating:

So far my review/ Easy construction and its quality built for the price and the cutting of the whip was straight forward they even give you a guide which I found spot on. It receives 1-2 spoints better then the A99 and transmits the same 1-2 s points (local) so not a mind blowing improvement but never the less better. What i did find it tunes on bascially the same bands as the A99 Happydays well I shall have to give it some DX work now,Cheers Thuderpole it rivals and beats an A99 handsdown
