LC: There is an old school s.s.spring on the mount I had from around 1975 when I was a youngster, next is the DX-fighting stick, into that is a 102 s.s.whip with the bottom end cut off. From the bottom of the spring to the top of the whip, with the whip all the way down is 105in., With the whip all the way up it is 135in.
I have to have the spring as at hwy speeds it was torquing the mount to much, now with the spring at 50mhp it starts to flex, and at 65mph lays back about 5*- 8* .
We live up in the "high desert" of Cent. Or. and there's nothing to bang into...for the most part. When we go the" big city" over the hill, Portland, I put on my Monkey made mm-9 long /w s.s.spring. Oh, the Fighting stick is 7/8in.dia. I use to run a spring,102 whip and it all worked good, but.....always looking for better, most of the time I have it and just don't "see it". It's like when I can talk to Sao Paulo, and can hear someone from Santos a few miles away and can't work them....I know it's "conditions" but I still want it, I want my moblie to work like a base....it's not to be but I try. It's fun.
