What do you use?
My side cutters screamed at me and my junior hacksaw blade lasted about 50% of the cut.

Is there another option?

Cheers Dragonfly. Yes I have a similar mount. The one with the 4 bolts.
Don't want this thing flying off at 90mph do I ;)

How about a 851x315 pixel facebook cover photo image

Cheers for your help stampman, I see what you mean about the mount antenna conection just being a nut
Got a Super Nova set up now but SWR won't go down much below 3 on 40 and 2 on 1.

Do I need to cut the whip down?

I ordered separate mount and 3m patch coax.
I couldn't work out why the kit only came with one plug when you need one for each end.

Thanks

I've just ordered some stuff from the shop and somehow managed to buy 2 power mikes when I only want the one.
I've emailed sales asking for it to be amended but worried it won't be seen before my order is processed.

Do these mirror clamps come with protective bungs?
Would need to stop the rain and what not getting into it.
What about protecting the pl259 plug.
Do ...

Here's a pic of the roof rack on my van

It's a company van so I don't really want to attach anything directly to the roof ...

Thanks.

Hi, I thought these were the same antenna to start with but looking closer, one says it handles 1000W and the other 2000W ?

Is this ...

I've never had a decent hombase antenna and made do with a mag mount in the loft back in the day when I was 14.
These days I'm making do with another antenna in the loft and running up and down the ladder to adjust the SWR is no problem, but I'm thinking about getting a Thunderpole 5 and mounting it ...
