Bact to the OP.

9 foot whip on a pick-up truck is best, eh Frank?


Yep. A non-magnetic whip is best, but even a magnetic steel whip will
outperform any other 1/4-wave vertical on the market. That's my story
and I'm sticking to it.

Frank;
Can you qualify that a little more? A 1/4 wave S/S whip will
outperform any other 1/4 wave antenna when mounted in the same
location?
