Hey Tom -<br>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!<br>And thanks Tom for the offer.<br><br><br><br>Quoting Thomas Moore <<a href="mailto:piper925@att.net" ymailto="mailto:piper925@att.net">piper925@att.net</a>>:<br><br>> I've got an Antron 10/11 meter mobile antenna ....bottom loaded, the "stinger" is about 30" long and adjustable over the entire bands. The thing is about 5' all toll. Needs a good magnet (s). It's yours if ya want it.<br>> <br>> <br>> ________________________________<br>> From: David McKenzie <<a href="mailto:k1fsy@vhfwiki.com" ymailto="mailto:k1fsy@vhfwiki.com">k1fsy@vhfwiki.com</a>><br>> To: 144.450 Mailing List <<a href="mailto:450@lists.vhfwiki.com"
