   @pepsiholic2008 Hygain does not make antennas for 27 Mhz anymore I don’t
   think? I work at the old factory where they were made at, it is owned by
   Bosch now. The US government outlawed metal antennas for CB band in 1984.
   Hygain stopped making the Silver Rod, CLR-2, and the Penetrator when they
   were outlawed.

   @JohnMatrix89 did a comparison between the 2, thunderpole 5 slightly better
   on TX, silver rod slightly better on RX.

    Looks just like a Hygain Silver Rod. Even the radials are almost the same.

    These are really good twigs, the only issue is the ground plane it doesn’t
    do a great deal, I scrapped a more than useless Sirio 5/8th wave but I kept
    the matched (3×1.5M radials) ground plane and put it on the Silver Rod, its
    been up a couple of weeks and it has a bloody great SWR across the bands
    even with several hundred Watts up its chuffer I’m well impressed it gets
    out well can highly recommend them,
