With that set up i had a 1.1 SWR across the band on a external Meter, 1.3 on the Cobra 29's built in meter. I didnt like the way it flung around everywhere while i was driving. I took it off and got a 1.6 on Channel 1 and 2.0 on channel 40... So too make a long story short it needs too get that 6" back. Anyone know what i can to to replace the sring with somthing else too get the length i need?

It was very difficult getting the pole into position b/c the outer pole on the chiminey mount was corroded. Swr's looked good, but it's not hooked up yet as I still need to run the coax to the shack.
