It was a snazzy little "8-pointed star" contraption that scewed onto
the magmount base, then the antenna coil screwed onto it.. Cost about
$15.. and they were worth their weight in gold, let me tell you. I got
mine in So.Cal. when I was stationed on Pandelton. BTW, if you get
down there, pop on ch 13 and tell Master Blaster that Crazy 1 said howdy.

Wish I could remember the name of the manufacturer, but I can't ... sorry.

Agreed on the not-enough ground.. that's why counterpoise kits were
available for the W1000's... I had one that worked tits.
