So I put stock antennas on and hung rubber strap off of driver side step and passenger side step, only drove 5 miles to get to receiver, but didnt hear the rolling static, so we will see on a longer trip, the stock antennas seem to receive really good, heard alot skip out of Cali, and when that died down heard alot of local chatter around Ogden UT here.

what your thoughts on this?
I seen that antenna you made that had a top hat similar to that. Not an antenna designer here i just see capacitance -

I wonder how much that Goldenrod with the figure-8 top hat dances in the wind at 70 mph.

I own one. Not much. But it needs a tie-off

The wire tends to break at the base near the stud. the las one I bought broke after 3 weeks of use, granted it was used off road and was put to the test, but thats way too quick. I don't trust them anymore.
Maybe thier new "flexible" fiberglass antennas are better, I know K-40 made one that took a beating, but Wilson is now "Road Pro". no thanks.QuietStorm and Diesel Dave Thank this.
