By the way, most will tell you mounting the antenna this way won't work because of a poor ground plane, not being mounted on the roof....well maybe, however I still manage to shoot skip just fine like this, and only running a small 2-pill Fatboy... So, IMO it works just fine, since people still manage to hear me hundreds of miles away!...not to mention my locals don't have a problem hearing me either...
