102" fiberglass antenna
I have a fiberglass antenna that I'm supposed to run with a flag on certain job sites. My question is it has to go on a van, should I mount it on the back bumper or do I dare drill into the side of it and if so where?

I would use a ball mount with some 8x coax on the drivers side near the rear of the van. About 3-4 ft above the ground.

Re: 102" fiberglass antenna
Antenna was bad so I put a firestik 5' on the roof, set channel 1 is at 1.41 and channel 40 is at a 1. But I can't believe how dead the radio is, heard a ringing on ssb 1-40 and it just stayed the same so I gave up we'll try again tomorrow.

Re: 102" fiberglass antenna
My radios all work just fine, and channel 19 and the other 39 channels are all "dead" too!
