![]() What are the pro's and con's of lengenthing a mobile antenna? I have a travel trailer that I would like to operate from with a mobile vertical antenna off the back bumper. I standard 8' Huslter type mobile antenna would be poor with most if its length running parallel the back side of my aluminum framed trailer body. Would it be benefitial to add about 15 or so feet of mast to the antenna below the coil? Would an additional 15 feet of mast below the coil prevent me from tuning to resonance with the adjustable whip on top? If so, any suggestions as to materials to do so? PS: I'm only planning on operating 75M and maybe 40M. Ed K7AAT |
