Re: 102" whip antenna
Why do you think you need that kind of antenna? (unless it's primary
purpose is to hold a flag for visibility like Bill mentioned) One of those 40 inch "Fire Stick" (or equiv.) works great! -- JimG 80' CJ-7, 258 CID 35" BFG MT's on 15x10 Centerlines 4.56 D30-D44 SOA D300 w/4:1 & Currie twin sticks Warn 8000i w/dual batteries LockRight F&R "Rich M" <rich@ikillspammers.com> wrote in message news:rich-682E0A.12230826102003@dr2.ash.newshosting.com... > Anybody use one of these on their Jeep?

Re: 102" whip antenna
I have two of these in a relay and they are mounted on top of my
hardtop. Gives me a total height of, let's call it 15 feet. I just crimp small bungee cords around the tip and strap them down to a convenient location in the bed or on the rails when I'm driving on-road. This lets me garage park. Never heard of a 4' rule other than at a gentlemen's cabaret.

Re: 102" whip antenna
They detune badly at highway speeds... but are about unbreakable otherwise.
If you are looking for something that will be in one piece, and work regardless of the condition that's the aerial for the purpose. Wait until it nails you in the bean after it hangs up in a tree limb.
