Actually it probably would help, not that I would purchase something I
could easily build.

I refer you to rec.radio.amateur.antenna group for any truly insightful
comment. Some there have very large minds, others have large ego's...:-)

Thanks for your input.

I can see where the ones you speak of could possibly help out, however the
item in the auction is not the same. While the adapter you speak of has a
direct connection to the ground side of the mobile antenna, the auction item
does not, as it is meant to hold magnet-mount antennas. I can't see how
this would work, as there would be no ground-plain. Sure, there are the
fancy rods sticking out, but they aren't grounded to anything, not even the
antenna, therefore, in my opinion would do nothing to help the signal.

Actually, it will work and Maxrad sells a commercial version called the
MBS. We have used these to support special projects on our test range and
they work great!

Will someone actually buy this? Probably.

Will it work? Not as advertised... Probably not at all.
