    I didnt like just the 27" shaft of the 10k on a stud with the ss mount..The ss mound from bobs needs to be a lil thicker so that its sturdy..The whip on that 10 was thinner to that on the comp so it was whippy...Just makes me uneasy...Same with 7 foot skip shooter...With all that power your runnin your gonna need a bigger coiled type ant or a 102"....Again your gonna have to figure out how to stop that 102 from being so dang flimsy..Lol in a cross wind you just might slap the driver goin the other way in the face..lol

    My key down antenna has a massive coil but only has a 9 inch shaft... worked perfect with the pole mount but I managed to lose the pole mount when changing jobs...... gotta get another pole mount NOW... I DON'T GIVE A BOO BOO WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAYS THAT POLE MOUNT WORKS THE BEST ON A TURD-CADAIA

    I had the same with swr.Was running a 7ft firestick,just couldn't help but to chuckle,at how stupid that thing looked,I had to ride the shoulder because I was afraid it was gonna pop another truck lol.

    Stopped by steelrod's cb shop,and he put on a 4ft firefly that got my swr down to 1.4,but currently i'm just running a peaked and tuned cobra.When the time comes to upgrade my radio,i'll be looking for a better setup.but for now this works.

    Going from a 7' to a 4' is like selling a corvette and buying a miata...whatever floats your boat I guess?
