Mike,

>That sure is a nice base loaded whip!!! Has anyone tried a mobile >loop???

Is that a challenge? The nice thing about a loop (well one of them) is that 
they don't need a ground system. I transmitted on my 6ft diam #14 RX loop a 
while back, and based on the signal at 1.8 miles, and I think I predicted it 
would get out to about 15 miles max. I suppose I could make a trunk mount 
using the hitch ball as the base for the mast. The performance depends to a 
big degree on the Q of the loop and the car body could destroy the Q. Easy 
to check.

Bill
