The Solarcon A-99 is a fiberglass vertical base station antenna for CB radio, sold as a half-wave end-fed design that needs no ground plane or radials. It handles up to 2,000 W and is rated at 9.9 dBi gain, and it covers the 10 and 11 meter bands, so it works for CB and for 10 meter ham use. It is the go-to starter antenna for people setting up a home CB station on a mast or eave mount. Compared with aluminum ground-plane antennas, it is lighter, simpler to mount and more forgiving of a poor ground, but it is a single-band vertical with no direction control.

Owners treat the A-99 as a dependable, easy-to-install base antenna that gets on the air quickly. Many report solid local and skip contacts and praise the no-ground-plane design. Some note that tuning takes patience and that the fiberglass can suffer in extreme weather.
