I've got a spring on my home brew job thats mounted on the bullbar but
it travels many 1000's of K's on rough dirt roads. It's not a bad idea to
dampen the vibration.

Have you ever watched on a meter what the SWR does while your antenna swings
and sways with Sammy Kaye; it goes thru the roof! Yes, there are a few
instances where a spring is a must, but if I can avoid using one, I do.
