If I mount the Penetrator there, the very top of it might come even
with the top of the cab. I have been told, by them, whomever them is,
that the loading coil on any antenna needs to be above cab height Will
I need to go to the old standby, the 102" stainless steel, DEFINITELY
NOT ONE OF FIBERGLASS! I have seen a couple of advertisements for
those. I just don't see how that, made of FG, antenna could ever last
very long.


I wonder if taking a piece of conduit, I have an antenna mount that is
made of 1" or so of metal, has the curves in it to mount on pipe and
such. I would not be using the curved part but taking self-tapping
screws screw that mount to 3/4" conduit or so and then mount that
conduit to the bed of the truck, in between the cab and bed, before the
cover was put on. Would use U-bolts to mount the conduit, a minimum of
three of them. And by mounting it there, make the coil stick up XX
above the cab of the truck

I am not familiar with a screwdriver antenna setup. Is it for 2-4-6 or
even 10 meter?
