WTB: 7 or 10 inch 102" steel whip riser

[Mudfoot]

I don't know why others would use one on a whip. I made mine because I didn't like a short shaft below the coil on a center loaded antenna. I'd raise the coil higher and shorten the upper whip.

I just explained why.....

@Mudfoot
By making my own as demonstrated in the photos above I can make them in virtually any length I like.

It wasn't posted, yet. You jumped the line. I'm gonna tell the teacher on you.

I could certainly make one, but I'm lazy and choose not to.

If I could find (or they made) a proper old school spring, I might pass on the riser. The risers are nice, as they allow a good bit of adjustment. Depending on the size, you can get up to 6" or so, of adjustment.

I'm installing this on our combine and harvester. I don't have to worry about hitting anything. The riser will allow me to make rapid adjustments. It also looks bad ass.

CAL AV makes the mil-spec springs in which you may be interested.

I have a 10" riser I use that was for a wilson 1000 trucker edition. Its not really for sale but I would trade it for a pair of Bird uhf female qc connectors. USPS found their way to lose my package somewhere between Ny state and Florida

That riser is different than what I need. I already scored one. That's a bummer they lost your stuff. That setup looks nice.

Double set-screw looks like the right way to build a 102” whip adjuster.

Came across another with but (1) set screw. (Grub Screw).
