[450] 10 meter mobile installation.

[William Knapp / KC1WJ]

Hey Tom -
How does it mount? I have 3 pad and 4 pad magnet mounts. your antenna  
might be the solution. Chris - K1MAL is letting me borrow a known good  
Wilson mag mount antenna this week-end to determine if it's a problem  
with my antenna or something with the vehicle or grounding. Thanks  
Chris!
And thanks Tom for the offer.
