Product Information

A valid product review is one where you have experience or knowledge of the product that you would like to share with others.

I have the widebander and the standard Wonder Wand, both with the optional TCS (Tunable Counterpoise). Opening it up reveals what you might expect, a well designed UK product that I think has not really had the exposure it deserves. I suspect the components may be of higher quality than the immediate competitor, but others may know more than I on this one. Some people think the softer wire gives them an edge on pressured waters.I’ve never thought it makes that much difference with pike, but if it makesyou more confident there’s reason enough to use it.With just the telescopic antenna I think it is ideal attach some sort of counterpoise to make it work. I've used invisible thread (about 0.004") and strands of wire pulled from broken audio or computer cables. I have some Uschi elastic rigging thread but I haven't had success with it yet. (User error, I'm sure.) To my eyes, guitar strings look too large for 1/72 scale.

I was a young kid and nobody wanted to hire me, so I thought, well, I don’t really need permission,” Petit said. He gained global attention with his surprise high-wire act between the two bell towers at the iconic Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France, on June 6, 1971, a stunt that would have made even Quasimodo jealous.

The new kit has 94 tan, plastic parts, and a clear plastic windscreen with its own precut painting mask. Included are four wing panels, two types of cowl cheeks, two cowls, two engines, two props, two guns and an optional gas tank behind the pilot seat. Trailing edges and struts are accurately thin. There are two photoetched-metal frets, one of which is prepainted. Still with the wideband version there is access to 40m, 80m and 160m - I have to confess though I havn't really used it on those bands. It is great for portable use, great for RX for TX you should get a counterpoise or use a longer wire and it will do you proud!

Quality never did come cheap, so let’s start with the 15lb. If you’re afterzander or ultra-lighting with the risk of the odd pike coming along, thisstuff is going to add a new dimension to your fishing, it’s as simple asthat. A classic invention, sometimes known as the Mephisto Spiral. Gently hold and pull the two wires apart, and watch the magic unfold! The wires appear to be unwinding, but in fact never do. Keep pulling and the wires will turn in a never-ending spiral. This charming optical illusion occurs because your fingers are actually slipping through the metal when you pull. The two wires are rotating, but only your hands are moving apart. I made a very important discovery for mankind: I discovered that the earth is round!” Petit said. “As I looked at the horizon past the Verrazzano Bridge, I could see the faint line between the sky and the sea and it was not a straight, horizontal line, it was slightly curved, so I realized after Galileo many hundreds of years later, oh, our planet is a sphere!” I notice the product range is expanding, so Wonder Antennas looks like they are here to stay, which can only be good news for hams! My wire is 50 feet high and roughly 100 feet across, I am four stories high, so it calls people’s attention,” Petit told WTOP.No obscenities, discriminatory, abusive, or other content not suitable in public or for younger readers. There is a very strong safety net inside of my mind, which I have woven over 50 years,” Petit said. Born in Nemours, Seine-et-Marne, France in 1949, Petit began practicing on wires tied between trees.

This August, Petit will turn 74 years old, but he is not done yet, saying, “I am thinking of celebrating in a very beautiful, unusual way the 50th anniversary of my walk between the Twin Towers, so more to come.” Despite initial reservations about going so light, I haven’t managed to bustit on a fish yet either – not even the occasional bigger pike which put inan appearance from time to time when you aren’t expecting them.

I laid down on the cable to salute the sky, to feel my presence between the towers, then a sea bird came hovering over me with a red eye,” Petit said. “It was not a friendly face on that bird. It was like, ‘What are you doing in our territory? You are trespassing!’ And the bird was right, I was trespassing, but I remember this silent dialogue. I won’t tell anyone what I said to the bird or what the bird said to me, but it was an other-worldly encounter.” Nov 23, 20220.006" (0.15 mm) Nitinol wire. It is round wire. It is very strong and springy and remains straight. Just google it and you will find suppliers. My story is very strange and unconventional because my parents were not in the circus world. I had to fight my family and my surrounding authorities to become a self-taught wire-walker. I think it came from the love to climb, and maybe psychiatrists will say when I am dead, the love to look at life from a different perspective, thus to fly.” I started off saying I wasn’t 100 per cent happy with any wire, but I’lladmit my only real gripe with Caliber is the cost. It's a bit less expensive than it's Canadian competitor (I have used that one too)and performs equally as well and maybe slightly better! Up to 25 watts RF output - I think the Mark 3 may be able to manage 40 watts?
