I am wondering if a mobile antenna (2m/70cm) with a mag mount stuck to the flashing on top of my chimney would work. The flashing is 2-1/2' x 4'. Would that provide enough ground plane if the antenna was placed in 1' x 1' from the corner? The furnace vent is in the center. Thanks
 

Sure, it will work. How well is the question. I have heard of many hams who mount a mag mount to a pizza pan or an air conditioner unit and get out just fine. I know it will be a lot better than an ht, and many use them exclusively with no problems. Give it a try.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes

    Wes, it's better if you start a thread on the main forum, more people are going to see your question.
  • @ heartbreaker3473:
