Bought a President Maryland mobile antenna to go along with my new Lincoln II. Not real impressed with the quality for the price. I like the tuning rings but the base load feels like cheap plastic. President is just the sticker they put on it,no idea who actually makes it. I don't like the fact there's no wrench flats and you can only put on hand tight,hopefully not crushing the plastic base in the process.
 

It almost looks like a Sirio antenna except for the running rings. Let us know performance of this antenna.
 
Any more insight to the Maryland?

At just shy of 5’ and having the same SWR tuning rings of the shorter Iowa it looks to full BIG shoes at that optimum (minimal) height.

Lotsa contenders, right there.
