I have a 5' antenna mounted on a spring to the bed of my truck.
a buddy gave me a couple of antenna attachments when I told him I needed to take the antenna down to go to work (low garrage ceiling)
one is a "quick disconnect" and the other allows the antenna to be folded down with out removing it. They both have merrit; but will only use one (if I use them at all).
From the base to the antenna with spring+gizmo would be about 6" -- is this too much "stuff" between the mount and the antenna? or how much can I add w/o screwing the swr ?
I see some people use a "mast extension" is that really all I'd be doing?
Thank you
Darren
