| Make sure you've got it on tight, though. I had mine on hand tight only, and some creep took off with it.  He got my spring too, cost me $50 to replace them. I wish I could have caught him in the act, he would have known what it felt like to be walloped with a whip. Oh yea, got mine at radio shack both times. |

 | FYI, 102' whip is the proper length for 11 meter cb operation, when they are shorter they either have a base coil or are wire wrapped to maintain the proper SWR ratio. the lengt of connecting wire for the cofase will also affect the swr. if I remember correctly it was 16' of 52 ohm wire
