Some people swear by them in Poland and I know that some swear at them so cannot have any opinion without testing one? So soon on the blog and the you tube of simonthewizard will be the Sunker Elite CB 115. Looking very much like a ML145 from various makers this antenna comes with the following quotes:
600w Handling
26-28MHz
142cm whip
4 dBi
Comes with the magnetic base and includes delivery for £22. Sadly at the moment I am sick, not home and confined to another QTH so will only try the antenna later. “Too many cold beers” I was told caused the illness… But from that no comment..
I have contacted Sunker a few times to ask about the antennas and where they are made and some other questions but at the moment there is never a single reply to emails that are sent.
*UPDATE* The antenna arrived and on the packaging in Polish reads:
Wyprodukowano w Chinach dla Sunker. And the company address in Garwolin
So the antenna is Made in China for Sunker. Another mystery solved…

it looks ok but I prefer the coil in heavy duty plastic the see through stuff will it let in moisture get well soon Simon
Yeah looks OK but build I’d say is 50-50%. Was a bit surprised to see was Chinese made. Now just need wait and see how or if it works I guess…
