I dunno about the High Sierra,, but take it from a guy who runs homebrew
160 mobile
whips.
Eventually, you NEED to guy. And worse.
A heavy loading coil on a skinny whip not only needs guys to deal with
acceleration,
but often it needs a stand-off arm to keep it from slamming forward on
DEcelleration.
A big loading coil slamming into the body IS an ugly situation... not t=
o
mention a whip =
that nails the guy behind you when ya leave a light. I've wrecked MORE
loading coils
that way... <<smile>> =
It ain't pretty, but it gets necessary sometimes.
Right now, I'm trying to figger out how to cope with a bumper mount for a=
Ford F-150 that =
won't block the tailgate, and allows me to add a base matching coil box. =
