thanks, joe! that's a possibility and it would get the whip above roof
level.


One other possibility is one of the four magnet magmount setups. Some even
come with coax. I've even seen such mounts used for screwdrivers if you
still have your prior one. Before anyone points out they have to be
grounded properly, the mounting holes for the roof mount offer access to at
least some grounding with the proper short bolt. I suspect such a scheme
might have the grounding strap()/wire(s) too long at 10 meters, but for 17
meters through 75, probably should be adequate.
