{"replyTo":"","text":"SWR is 1.2:1, it is centered on a resonant frequency of 27.160 running a 102\" SS whip  and 14' of Times Microwave 655663 M-17/113- RG-316 with a velocity factor of 69, nominal capacitance of 32pF/M. This I checked on a Comet CAA-500 1.8-570Mhz antenna analyzer so I'm relatively certain everything there is copacetic. It just doesn't look cool, I want to be a real trucker so it's gotta look cool!\nRight? Should I put some chrome and chicken lights on it, maybe an echo board?","replyToPid":0}
