[ILQSO] Mobile antennas?

[jimk8mr at aol.com]

 I love HamSticks. While no longer made under that name, there seem to be similar ones by Moonraker and other brands at DX  Engineering.  Single band whips, 3/8x24 stud. 

Used with a three magnet mount, three of these on your car will cover the bands that will be open. 20 & 40 most of the time, 80M at night, 15 meters and maybe 10 during the day. You'll need a coax switch or multiple antenna ports on your radio, but that's not a big deal.
You will be able to hear me in action with these in the Florida QSO Party, April 26 & 27.

 Hey guys,

I am seriously thinking of going out mobile for the ILQP, and likely 26 MOQP.

Never had a mobile setup. I plan on my ftdx10 but no idea what a decent antenna would be. I do have an old hustler set. Also would be nice to make band changes without getting out and swapping leads or anything-and not wanting to spend mega bucks either.

Ideas?

Thanks!
