Default MH Antenna Problems

I operate 100% Winnebago Mobile! Mounted a little screwdriver up on top of rear ladder, fed with RG8X. Rig is a IC7000 with the Turbo-tuner. SWR was a problem until I checked the situation with a MFJ-259 analyzer. Got everything to work better with better grounding and counter poise wires from the antenna mount. Roof of winnebagos are fiberglass. Ran one counterpoise wire into the left side awning groove. You might check your coach for a aluminum rail running up the side which serves as a lentil for the slide area. I also have the AH-4 and tried it with a 27' horizontal wire on the roof with poor radiation results.. Hope this helps, I'm still experimenting! // John
