The reason for the other junk is I want to set up my base and all I have is the 102" ss and all my 'other'antanas and different ways of mounting them......i guess I can leave the 102" on the truck and build (or buy)a wire dipole....saw one for arround 30$(was a double bazooka I think)those are my only options to have a base and a mobile........i really hate to be without a mobile and miss a base....
