Hi Steve;
Unfortunately I had to roof mount the antenna. I used butternut's roof mount kit which is basically four precut radials which contain wires resonant for each band and their tripod. I also added a radial for 75.
After being off the air for three plus years I'm much less particular. The world no longer ends when the swr goes above 2/1 and I'm astonished what ridiculous mismatches the internal tuner seems to deal with. Unfortunately, even if the tuner makes the radio happy it doesn't really change performance.

Richard,
I do have a 6V up and it is pretty much the same as a 9V, although you have
a few more bands. Just wondering: Is it ground mounted or elevated? And
what is the ground system?
73, Steve KW3A
