Hi Ken, Where/how did you mount the 102" whip on your Winnie? I have the luxury (?) of having a ah-4 to xperiment with. Am presently considering mounting the AH4 down low on the rear of the MH, then running a wire up the ladder via a piece of 1/2"pvc with standoffs, then accross the roof utilizing stand-offs (mounted sideways to the Lexan vent covers). My previous attempts with the AH-4 were probably compromised by inadequate grounding. Was also considering a longer 102" whip on the little tarheel but not sure if it will still tune the 6 meter band. Also bought some counterpoise metalic tape for use on the roof with the tarheel. Got lotsa ideas, and plenty of time ..... 73//John
