you will have to excuse me I've been out of the game for far to long but 
what was the extra wire for and why a quarter wave if the mag mount is a 
eighth.  Again I really don't know that is why I'm asking.  sorry if this is 
a stupid question.  I'm planning on getting some study material so I can 
ketch up.  thanks for all the help.  I am open to other ideas if there are 
any besides the mag mount.  also.  thanks again guys.
