Fri, 11 Apr 2003 15:48:38 -0400

Hi Phil,
            like you I just picked up a screw driver antenna on ebay and
the url is: http://www.kj7u.com
But here are two that offer mounting systems you mite want to take a look
at 
http://www.tarheelantennas.com/ and
http://www.cq73.com/FramePages/hsaSet.htm You may want to look into a
automatic tuner also, url: http://www.amac-controllers.com/
I hope this is of some help and if you know of anyone who has a numatic
mast forsale let me know.
