[SixClub] Best 6 meter mobile antenna yet.

[Doug Huchteman]

I'm always looking for "the best" antennas and recently cut down an old 102" 
CB stainless steel whip to about 54".  At this point I'm ready to call it 
the best 6 meter mobile antenna I've ever used.  Less than 2:1 swr across 
the entire band (and then some) and A to B testing (mobile to mobile and 
mobile to base) is showing signals several s units over my usual hamsticks 
and Larsen NMO50 or NMO150 base loaded whips.  I used it this morning to qso 
with N3AUS in EN91 from the "company car" with 25 watts.

This antenna needs to have a good ground and doesn't play well on a mag 
mount or other ungrounded mount.  Also remember that if you use the spring 
at the base it figures into the overall length.

Now I'm looking around for a 1 inch or so corona ball to mount on top.
