I figure I'll hook that to the luggage rack which is right at the roof line and let it -whip- above that somewhat. Any suggestions on what to use for the standoff, all things considered? 73 Steve. - I forgot to add the 'standoff' will need to be around two feet long and somewhat flexable/shock absorbing. 73 Steve. Instead of a 102" whip flying around, As I posted earlier, it won't be flapping around except above the luggage rack. I intend to secure it with a non conductive standoff there. why not simply pick up a shakespear marine cb antenna that's designed to be used with fiberglass craft? It could be mirror-mounted then you're done! N9ZAS The mirrors are fibergalss too... and I don't like the idea of using my coax length to tune my swr. Plus the fact the 102" will out listen and talk most any coily antenna. (imo) I'm gonna try it and see if it's too directional, I'll let you know. 73 Steve |
