Anyone know where to get one? I can't seam to find anybody online that stocks one?
Any input on this antenna would also be appreciated.
I'm planning on mounting one on the back of a Volvo on the lower hand rail in the center of the truck. Should stick up about a couple inches above the tractor roof line and the trailer roof line.
I'm not at all satisfied with my current setup (dual coil 10k) on the passenger mirror. And yes the 10K is grounded to the door hinge with flat braid and the hinge is grounded to the frame with flat braid. Swr is 1.2:1 flat.
I talked to a driver the other day who had a skipshooter set up on the back hand rail of his Volvo and was very pleased with his setup. I had a chance to talk and listen to his setup and was very impressed. He bought the antenna several years ago from a garage sale so he couldn't help me locate one.

I got lucky on ebay and found a pair shipped to me for $75. Thats a steal. I would say check there, but yeah, the 7' is a tough one. I called a few shops but not many stocked over 5'. Shipping is what will get ya if you are not in the area. RollingRadios in VA stocks some...but I doubt 7'. You might try calling him.

i have found them in many places in stock , but they are an over sized item so shipping is more then the cost of antenna itself

If you are pulling a refer and running any kind of power (include export radio) it may cause you problems mounting it back there. But other wise any antenna will work better there try putting you 10K there. the more centered the antenna is to the vehicle the better the ground plane is
