Crystal's antenna came today. Hustler FG-27s from R & L Electronics.
It's NICE antenna for well under $20 (with no mount). Very sleek antenna with a thin diameter center-load coil. Not too thin for performance or bandwidth I hope. I'd like to compare it side by side with an HQ27s someday. The HQ is about 7 inches longer and has a bigger diameter coil from what I read.
Will be using a trunk/hood channel angle bracket. Not a stupid trunk-lid mount. Those always scratch and come loose....especially with an antenna of any size on them. We'll put the bracket on the trunk channel.
Got a couple of different 3/8-24 stud mounts as well. I'll have to see which one fits best.
Will have to make up my own coax cable assembly for it.
The bracket is (or is the same as) the brackets we used to get from Larsen to mount NLA antennas on (3/8" hole). I'll have to drill it out to half inch. Your choices are 3/8 or 3/4 for those brackets. 1/2" is not an option.
Pictures coming!
