What would be a good mount for this spring and 102 whip? I could go stake pocket or drill a hole in top of bed rail or put a mount right to side of bed.
Using the Sirio pl145 magnet. Hitting limbs going out my paved road. About 3 miles worth. It's over 12' tall on my truck. The antenna is tough you hit 1 low enough it don't give.
I have a Sirio Performer 5000 now that is about the best I can get. But the problem is its just way to long. I knocked it completely off the top of the truck the other day going to work. Was just looking for something decent with maybe 10 mile range or so for local. It has a 80" whip I think. I...

Well I got it done today guys. Its been a while but finally complete other than grounding. 40' to the bottom of the Sirio Tornado 27. SWR is flat across 11 meter band. Just over 62' of Times Microwave LMR400 coax. Haven't had a chance to talk on it as I just got it done.
Would you be interested in trading for my uniden pro 640e SSB radio? I guess ExitThirteen doesn't want it. I can't get in touch with him. No contact since February 25'th. Thanks.
