Default help- Mobile 10meters on a jeep

Maxrad makes a base loaded quarterwave that looks like their other land
mobile offerings that covers the 10m band. I bought two with NMO style
mounts and they worked very well for 10m several years ago. The reason I
had two whips was one cut for the low end of the band and the other cut
for the FM portion. When 10m was open I had no problem working everyone I
heard.

The nice thing is that they are reasonably low profile--on the order of a
5/8 wave whip on 2m--and work very well with a typical NMO magnet mount
on the roof of my S-10 pickup.

Have fun!
