I recently came across a radio shack CB/HAM mag mount antenna (#21-972).
I want to trim it down for 2m use. What would be length I would look for?
The steel whip is 39inches and it's total height with base is 46 inches.
I think it may be between 19.5 and 19.75 inches. Could someone confirm my
measurement?


If it has a loading coil in the base, forget it for 2m.
