Default Mag Mount on aluminum ?

Aluminum works fine as a counterpoise.

However, The magnetic feature of the mag mount would most likely be
inoperative. Magnets don't like Aluminum!!

Since aluminum is non magnetic, I would assume a mag-mount vertical would
not couple properly to a aluminum ground plane.

Thoughts ?
