How difficult are the body grounded antennas to install Scott?

That is beginning to sound like the best way to go.



I purposely bought a vehicle with a metal bumper. I have a
massive Francis stud holding my Firestik KW-7. It is
dirctional on the rear bumper, but it makes skip work
real well toward the front of the vehicle. Sideband and
a 2x455 box make this setup talk some skip. Screw AM.

I do 11 meter sideband and 2 meter FM simplex.
Catch you on the air!

Go get a Wilson 1000 or a K-40 if you must use a magnet mount.
A body grounded full size antenna will always work better.
