That shows your magmount is getting there for providing a good RF ground, better than a single mag but with my car using a fixed mount on the roof and having done the bonding I mentioned I had to cut mine by 4 inches which got it resonant to 27.600MHz with zero reactance (X=0). Prior to getting the dremel to the whip it was resonant below 26MHz at stock length fully shortened. I get S0 noise when I'm driving, can hear stations who are S0 too and can hear stations from over 40/50 miles away. Quite a few people refuse to believe I only run 4W.
