Does anyone have any suggestions on a good antenna fender bracket that elevates the coil above the hood?
I had bought a flat Firestik bracket, but it put the coil right by the hood and my SWR was 3:1.
I have lightbar brackets that have mount points for lights down low and I moved the antenna there and got my SWR down to 1.5:1. I'm not crazy about the location and I feel like I can still get better SWR by getting it out away from the windshield.
(Larsen 2/70 NMO antenna, but I've been drilling out my brackets to 3/4" so the NMO connector fits in them.)
