Re: Tall antenna hitting things

I have a 5/8 wave dual bander that I somehow always manage to run into things with. So far it has held up admirably. Branches and drive thrus seem to be the biggest culprits.

I keep meaning to take it off the roof and get a different bracket fabricated because taking it off the roof of my Jeep every day is a pain, bigger than easing under something short and just 'rubbing' a little.

I guess that will happen one day when it finally breaks...
