    Why not just use the antenna that was made for that magnet? I like to keep it simple

    I'm not sure what removing a coil has to do with anything.
    You could cut the shaft down 2 an inch long and the coil wouldn't need to be removed

    Removeing a coil will drop wind drag..Kale told me at time to do that basically makes it a comp..No better but less resistance/loss..

    That is true to a point but it's a heavy antenna with lots of mass to begin with. No matter how much you remove it will always weigh more than the Sirio antenna

    I ordered a package deal from sirio in cali..$95..Had it shipped to mark so he could upgrade the coax and make a stronger connection..Also asked him to do me up another 955 with the lowered floor mod and ranger mike..

    Also thinkin as i was driven....Just for chits n giggles why not get a piece of plywood cut it to rough size of truck roof,cover that ply wood with a sheet of metal and anchor it to the truck bed..Now i can also mount a tri mag and run my 7ft skip shooter..
    Just random thoughts..


    As for my crapcadia and mounting a 7ft on it....I thought if i left my 40" tall cascadia mirror mount in place and take a normal ant mirror arm mount and attached it to the 40" say half way up the shaft,use a normal ant mount then attach my 7ft ss to that(a way to stabilize the long ant)..
    Wonder if that would do anything good or bad for trans/rec
