[Boatanchors] Master Mobile Coil

[Greg Roecker]

Hi  Rod,

The coil you probably have is the model 900 by Master Mobile.  Most of the
Master Mobile series coils were all designed to use a 36 inch base section
and a 60 inch whip.  The makers of the Texas Bug Catcher mobile antennas
have the masts and the whips.

I have a couple of Master Mobile coils.  The model 999 covers 10, 15 and 20.
I always keep my eye out for them at hamfests.

Good luck with yours and 73,
