No, have not tried the Marine Antenna yet. Unfortunately some of the replys here on the forum drifted off topic and I haven't followed up here. Been looking at other sites for a while. I remain concerned about finding/fabricating a swing down mount. Have seen a couple from a distance. I did meet one om from K6 that had a FB system on a 5th wheel with custom made fold down mount from a now non-existant shop in California. My 35' winny has a fiberglass roof so I need to feel comfy about the counterpoise. Some comments on the Marine antenna says they need extensive counterpoise, some do not. Shakespeare website was not clear on the subject. I have an AH-4, Would be nice if anyone at Q this year would post some fotos of HF mounts seen at the Q'fest. // John
