Can a stud mount mobile antenna be effectively used as a base antenna? I know a mag-mount can be used with good results on a metal roof, I've done that. But what about bolting a stud-mount antenna to a 30' tower?
I'm thinking something like the Wilson 2000 using a mirror-mount clamp. I really like Wilson antennas, and would like to have a do it all mobile/base solution. I dont know if this can be done without causing all kinds of SWR and grounding issues, but I'd like to know. I've seen those ground-plane radial kits for mobile antennas, dont know if that would be of any use here.
I want to do this so I can have a decent base antenna that can be easily transfered to the car for road trips, maybe once or twice a year. On the car I would use one of those Universal 3/8 x 24 Mag-Mounts for studded antennas.
