A99 is junk. Get over it, somehow.

Use the 102" as a vertical element on top of a ground plane created by at least three ground radials at least 7' long.
It worked for Marconi it will work for you. If you are absolutely anal about VSWR tip the ground radials down a bit .

I'm not picking on anyone. I'm just offering an opinion (the A99 and all it's ilk are junk) and a possible alternative (1/4 waves always work) .
