Wow my post sent from my android was messed up.
What I tried to say was I have a Scorpion antenna and it has gone thru 2
winters in MI. I am just north of Ann Arbor.
Also I do not have a trailor hitch mount it is above my bumper on the
rear tailgate.
Hope this helps.

Dave -I used a PREDATOR made N9JMX in Kokomo, IN. After 5 years, 220 countries
and None of the problems you describe, I sold it to WN9O. I am not sure they
are still being made, but the SCORPION is very similar in design and I would
not hesitate to use one if I decide to again do HF mobile.
