No. Not true. I run 6 feet on my 1000 mag. 1.1 swr's on channel 35.

Great antenna btw. I don't know if you can beat one for the
ease/money/performance.

I received and old wilson 1000 mag. mount and want to put it on my quad (4
magnet) mount. I hear that I need a 18 ft. piece of coax for a
counterpoise. Is that true? Any info appreciated.

Thanks,

G.C.
