[Antennas] QST Mobile Antenna Comparisons

[Jim Miller]

Hi-Q screwdrivers are 3/8-24 mounted.  Several models.  Mine is the "4-80".
4 inch coil that will go to 80 meters.  Mine is mounted on a receiver hitch
on my can and has it's own ground wires to the frame and I have a 102 inch
whip above he "center mounted" coil.  This unit is sealed and does not
change height, all moving parts are inside and sealed from the weather.  I
get almost continuous "great signal" reports.

73, Jim
