Bend the whip on a magmount?

I want to put my 2M 5/8-wave mag-mount on the trunk lid, which slopes down at 20 degrees. I am concerned that most of my signal is going into the ground or outer space. Can I bend the long whip so it stands vertically? Should I do it? Bend away, it will be okay. does the downward slope of the ground plane leave a problem unaddressed? Not really. I mean there is probably some effect on SWR, but it is the situation that you have. So go for it. - 73 de Mike N3LI - |
