Thanks Stefan - I will keep that in mind.

If you can't contribute anything positive to this question, then stay out
of it, with your trash!
I have a 10m base loaded mag mount antenna, that I had to put a piece of
felt over the magnet as not to scratch a new vehicle.
When I did this I apparently changed the capacitance between the mag
mount and the roof of the vehicle. Someone suggested that I might want
to replace the felt with either a large balloon or a large prophylactic
as it is thinner and the capacitance would then return to almost where it
should be.
Positive comments only!
The thickness of the balloon will result in a much larger capacitance to
the 'ground' plane counterpoise so it should be a big improvement over the
felt.
