Reply To: antron 99 into a 5/8 wave

Considering that the mobile whip is already designed to present 50 ohms to the coax center and braid to ground plane, I dont think it would work that well.

If you sent the coax up to the whip and the centre went to the whip and the braid went to the antron below it acting as a ground counterpoise of the correct length it may work.

But if you just feed the A99 as normal and attach the whip up the top I doubt it.

Then again, antennas can behave in strange ways sometimes!
