Thanks for the replies. I actually went out and bought a replacement whip.
Actually, I found out that I needed to cut A LOT off the whip. I got it tuned
on 28.700 to .8:1 My whip is only 30 inches long now so I can mount it on the
roof and not on the trunk. Does the roof act as a ground plane because when I
put it up on the roof, the swr dropped. Anyhow, it works like a champ; today
I talked to Texas on 15 watts.
