[SixClub] CB whip for 6m mobile??

[Larry Brown]

Thanks to Joey and Bill(N2VOT) for their replies. I was hoping to take the 
easy way out and use the 102 for 6m and 10m. I do have another whip someone 
has cut to around 68-72 inches. Looks like I'll have to trim it down and 
mount it on the other side of the pickup and run 
lopsided(chuckle/snicker/choke!).

And Joey....as for the whip handling the trees...mine has broken more than a 
few limbs in the 25 years since it was new lol. Especially when it was on 
the tri-axle Mack dump, but man could you talk with that rig.
73 and thanks again!
Larry
