Default FA - Mobile Antenna Reflective GROUND PLANE

These REALLY Improve mobile antenna transmission by making your antenna an
actual ground plane!

Fits at the bottom of standard 3/8" stud mount antennas

Oh yeah, turn an antenna into a real skyburner!

Maybe as a top hat for VHF--if it weren't so darn heavy ...

Whoops, deleted the wrong text ... got a neighbor that just might be
able to use one though (stopped my antenna projects with his constant
complaints!) ... maybe I will buy one and toss it over the fence to 'em.

Nothing to do with ground reflection but...

Shunt matching capacitor to raise feed point impedance. But do you need it
in your installation?

I used to use a BC variable cap hooked up to a throttle cable so I could
fine tune my Hamsticks, Yes it made a difference although I never gave it a
Buck Rogers name.

How about AITD? For "Alien Intelligence Tuning Device", you like that name?
