Good work. looks like it belongs there.

When I mounted mine at the time I said higher was better.
And I do get very good receives and output. I put a spring on it so it wont ever break off.
Not the best pic but you see the American flag half way up the antenna?

Nice work, and a good thought and well executed, except that it ground-planes across the vehicle in the shortest path instead of a longer path like fore-aft.

Fleming how's that mag mount working out for you? Does it topple over fairly easy when it touches something?
