I think you mistook what I asked. I might not have worded it right. I use a sidekick as a mobile antenna. I also use it at home on a tripod. I was wondering if I put up a mast as you have will it work? I use the sidekick and it works great by it's self. I set it about 25 ft away from the RV with the radials. I was looking at your set up. If it helps with the AH4 and a whip it should work (I hope) with my set up I have hooked a wire to the set up at home and it worked well just in the tree and on the roof of the carport. So all I can do is try it out.
