102" whip vs the rest

The competition was not held. I was left with the desire to compete.
Well sorry to hear that, you can always go park on top of a hill, and work DX with it.

Sometimes I mount my 102 ss whip on top of my old extended cab pickup dead center using a triple mag mount, heavy duty barrel spring and a tram quick disconnect. That's what I use sometimes when I'm parked to DX. In that configuration I get a 1.1 match all away across the 27 meter band. I just don't like to drive around like that because I hit pert'near everything. But, it works great.
How many watts? Any damage to the paint under those three magnets?
My radio is a Galaxy DX 94hp dead low key at 2 watts and high dead key at 10. It modulates nearly 120 watts so, no problem whatsoever. 0 paint damage.

That's great that you can talk DX with a two-watt dead-key and 120 watts PEP. Or is it 120 watts average?
Not sure what ya call it but, it swings, forward modulates forward between 100 to 120 watts or so.
I don't know if that's "PEP", or not.
I ain't real smart. Hahaha
Not real sure what PEP is.
Yeah I had 102" whip back in the 70s on a Volks Wagon and had trouble smacking things. Would never have another unless it was a permanent stationary antenna. Of coarse that is just my opinion. LOL OH yes and center of the roof.
