Of these the practical ones all use large diameter masting made of highly conductive material. A large diameter, air spaced loading coil. This coil is always upwardly located and the overall antenna height Damn Tnom, a 102 on a mag mount? You should be whipped. LOL A homebrew triple magnet 750lbs magmount.
