Which do you think will offer more capacitance to the antenna, a metal
trunk lid wich is a 90 degrees to the antenna and relaatively wide or the
narrow fender that falls away from the antenna quickly.

But he said the trunk lid was fiberglass - not metal - so the fender is
the better choice.
I know a metal trunk lid would be better - but there was not on available.
Read his Original post again.


Read my post again, I was commenting on why the long(27Mhz) antenna tuned up
on 10M. I he had a metal lid he would have had to trim the antenna.
