Bend the whip on a magmount?

Although the issue may be more aesthetic than functional, I inform you that I have a magnetic mount (built by Kathrein) that has a swivel at the whip connection point. So, even if the mount is slanting, you can adjust the swivel so that the whip is perfectly vertical. 73 Tony I0JX Rome, Italy A 2 Meter 5/8 Wave antenna is too long for a magnet mount. Not if the magmount is one of those which is around 7" diameter. Also, with the one I have, the coil at the base is something like 4 turns of 1" internal diameter spring steel so, if the whip does hit something, there's a lot of 'twang' in the system. There's almost no way that the magnet can be dislodged. I stand corrected. Thanks. http://www.hamcity.com/detail.aspx?ID=786 |
