I ' ll have to give that a try . I was having some trouble with the MFJ 1979 yesterday when I threw just the fully extended pole on the mount , couldn ' t seem to get the swr down , but with the wolf river coil , I can seem to get it right where I want it . I know less coil is generally better , but it seems as if its giving more control over the outcome ! Yes , K 0 BG ' s website was on my favorites tab during this process ! So much info there ! Now i ' m already starting to think of a custom made 5 th wheel type mount in the center of my bed . My bed is composite , but i ' ve also considered placing galvanized mesh underneath a rubber bedliner mat . Only problem is , I don ' t weld , and i ' m sure a metal shop would charge a pretty penny for something like that ! The REP mount will do nicely for now ! Thanks for the feedback ! 😬
