They wanted to get the best possible antenna for going mobile(Car) True, one cannot use a 16 foot whip on the exact center of the car for the best omni directional performance. Some swear by a 7 foot whip that has a load coil in the middle. Should you go fiber glass or metal whip. One thing for certain. You want as much radiator as you can. I have a home brew vertical. So I will scale it down. I would also consider 7 foot of fiber or metal. Then find a inductor at the end of the 7 foot rod. I would consider a loading coil and an additional 2 feet of solid radiator. I made a decent 20M ant out of 2 CB antenna'a A 10/11 meter whip can be found any where. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
