yup i also have same plans here.just for short local yaking
within 20 miles or less.i can do that with my wilson 5k in
the mobile.so a 102ss whip should easily do that

I have gathered two sections of TV tower, complete 102" assembly with mount and spring. I will start photographing everything in the next week or so when I complete the parts gathering stage.

If you buy 2 stainless whips you could build a really cheap poor-mans dipole. I used to drive a peterbilt 387 with co-phased dipoles mounted 102" apart on the fiberglass fairings, and I used to talk 40 miles on AM running coast to coast-no grounding needed.

I scrapped the 102" idea because Sparky's has his A99's on sale for $49. So I made the drive and gave Sparky my lunch money and picked up a couple things. I will try to get pictures of everything soon. I am done gathering parts, finally. I am currently priming/painting my tower and getting it ready to be planted.
