    I used a couple zip ties up top under the coils to pull it towards the top of hose rack also. Till I can figure out something better

    Dont rely on swr to tell you your set up is at its peak..Like i mentioned before,find a sgop or someone with an analyzer to see where your resistance and resonance is..your r#should be anywhere between 36 and 50 and your x# should be as close as possible to 0 on ch ..Resonance is not always at best swr either but i preferr a better resonance than swr but both are usually close..

    Yea it's working pretty good where it's at and I'm just above the 13'6 , i might have to replace whip every now and then but I'm sick of messing with it. I will get a professional to check out the things ur talking about at some point and may throw my lil 1x4 amp on it for fun

    Lol..I tried a different set up on my cascadia...Couldnt get what i was doin to work so back to my tall set up..Was tweeking and suddenly i have WTF moment..Everything was wayyy off..Turned out i broke my 10k coil...So i grab a new one and go to tune and i realized,i have two less wrapps on this coil..No wonder it didnt tune where i had my old whip marked..
    Retuned and im just a hair over 13'6",guess ill be goin around new york rather than through on my way south..
    Ill have to measure to chk for sure to see if and how much im over but by eyeball i look taller..
