The "Little Wil" uses Wilson’s exclusive low loss coil design and is patterned after the proven performance of the Wilson 1000 and 500. The "Little Wil" out performs all similar types of small base loaded antennas. It was designed specifically for users who want a high performance antenna with a short whip, at a low price. The Wilson tradition of designing an antenna that offers maximum efficiency for the cost is continued with the "Little Wil".
The Large 10 oz. Magnet used in the "Little Wil" is the first indication of the attention to detail, engineering, quality and design that makes the antenna perform so well. The strength and holding power of the larger magnet will prove itself the first time extra speed is needed to pass the auto ahead, or on those rough and bumpy roads. The "Little Wil" hangs on long after other small antennas have fallen off and become lost and wasted money.
Wilson uses 14 gauge wire to provide the maximum power handling for a small antenna. When combined with Wilson’s exclusive coil winding method that allows air to flow completely around the wire, its maximum power handling is approximately 300 watts.
With it’s total height of only 38", when mounted on the trunk lid of most automobiles, you can safely drive into your garage without damaging the antenna or the car from the overhead door. When driving into those multi-level parking garages, at the office or shopping center, you no longer must remove the antenna. If you're looking for a low cost, high quality antenna with a low profile design, the "Little Wil" is your solution.

The Wilson 1000’s higher gain performance is a result of several new design developments that bring to you the most powerful CB base loaded antenna available in its price range A large portion of the power that goes into a typical base loaded CB antenna is lost as heat in the coil and as dielectric heat loss in the plastic inside the coil form. Many CB antennas lose more than 50% of the power put into them. The power is wasted as heat loss and not radiated as radio waves. Another weak link in other CB antennas is the capacitor used to match the coax to the antenna, which is a cheap and easy way to make the SWR look good, but has lots of power loss, plus blows out when high power is applied to it.
The first priority was to reduce the dielectric loss by removing as much of the plastic inside the coil as possible. This was accomplished by suspending the coil in air, supported only at four small points, 90 degrees apart, in effect removing 95% of the plastic from the inside surface of the coil. This reduced the dielectric loss to a negligible amount.
The second priority was to get rid of the resistive heat losses in the coil. Since most of the RF energy at 27 MHz travels on the surface of the wire, it was decided to increase the surface area by making the diameter of the wire larger 10 GA copper. Since silver is a much better conductor than copper, although very expensive, the wire was heavily silver plated. This reduced the resistive loss to a minimum.
Finally, to get rid of the losses in the matching between the coax and the loading coil, the lossy capacitor was eliminated and a difficult but more efficient means of coupling the antenna was used. A Scalar Network Analyzer was used to determine the very precise point to direct match the coil with the coax and obtain the best match with maximum power transfer, which gives the 3000 watts of power handling capability.
So far you have read about why the Wilson 1000 performs better, but the Wilson 1000 is also the most rugged antenna you can buy. It is made with Mobay’s Thermoplastic which costs a lot more, but it’s the best available. All of these are the reasons you get a 2-year guarantee and your Wilson 1000 is guaranteed to outperform any base loaded CB mobile antenna (except the Wilson 5000 ). For the ultimate in performance and power handling see the Wilson 5000 Base Load.
TEST RESULTS: In tests conducted by Lockheed Corporation, one of the world's largest Aerospace Companies, at their Rye Canyon Laboratory and Antenna Test Range, the Wilson 1000 was found to have 58% more power gain than the K-40 Electronics Company, K40 CB Antenna. This means that the Wilson 1000 gives you 58% more gain on both transmit and receive, on channel 40. Now you can instantly increase your operating range by installing a Wilson 1000.
ANTENNA POWER GAIN: The amount of improvement in power amplification over another antenna. The higher gain antenna will transmit & receive farther, but the actual distance will vary depending on the gain, ground terrain and other environmental factors. Individual test results may vary due to the vehicle's ground plane and matching configuration. Gain performance was proven by power gain tests at Lockheed Corporation Antenna Test Laboratory.
PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE: The Wilson 1000 will transmit and receive farther than the antenna it replaces or your money back. This guarantee is good for 15 days from the date of purchase.

The Wilson 5000 is the top performing base loaded CB antenna for the automobile. Wilson used the basic design of the Wilson Trucker 5000 with the exclusive low loss coil and proven performance qualities of the Wilson 1000. The Wilson trademark of designing an antenna with maximum efficiency is continued in the Wilson 5000. Extensive research and engineering efforts showed that a 6 gauge solid copper wire with a properly designed coil, displayed excellent performance characteristics. And though copper is one of the best RF conductors available - silver is even better. Wilson combined the best of both worlds by using 100% pure silver to heavily plate completely over the large solid copper wire. This means that using the Wilson design techniques, the Wilson 5000 will outperform all other base loaded antennas available. With the 5000 made from solid 3/16" copper silver plated wire, and the special design of the floating coil, it will not ice up, stop working even in severe winter conditions. There is no chance of the coil windings cracking from freeze up. The Wilson 5000 is over 65% larger than the famous Wilson 1000, and designed specifically for users who want the best antenna and have to ability to withstand some power applied to it. The Wilson 5000 will handle 5000 watts AM, 20,000 watts SSB (ICAS ratings). Wilson's engineering quality, design, and attention to details is the key to the high performance. The Wilson 5000's performance and power handling abilities will prove itself the first time extra performance is needed to break through the noise on the air. With 30 years of knowledge and engineering experience in the design of antennas, Wilson has become the recognized leader in CB Mobile antennas. The Wilson 5000 is now the choice of the serious CBer. All of these are the reasons you get a 2 year guarantee and your Wilson 5000 is guaranteed to outperform any CB mobile antenna or your money back.
PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE: The Wilson 5000 will transmit and receive farther than the antenna it replaces or your money back. This guarantee is good for 15 days from the date of purchase.
