Hi

Well, I will toss in my two bits for what it is worth. I ran a five eighths 
wave mag mount in a windowsill for a while. The results were OK, but not 
wonderful. It used a NMO connector to attach the antenna to the magnet. So, 
since I was on 2 meters, I cut a thin piece of speaker wire to about 19 
inches, and wedged the bare end of the copper wire under the edge of the 
connecter just enough to make contact with the ground side of the connecter. 
This created a counterpoise. It was amazing how my signals jumped, both on 
the receive and transmit. Now, other antennas may work differently, but this 
did the trick for me with that one.

God bless,
Mark

I have a cookie sheet-but I also have a filing cabinet. How bout this. Would
this be ok? we don't have an attic. We live on a restricted planet.
Can I put the cookie sheet on the filing cabinet?
