1  eHam Forums / Mobile Ham / Singing Mobile Antennas on: August 11, 2000, 10:02:40 PM
I have a 2meter 5/8 wave mag and a 10meter mag both on the roof of a 1990 Sedan DeVille.  The problem is that going down the highway these things sing at a most annoying frequency and level.  Operating is not affected but the operator is.  A friend of mine suggested wrapping a piece of tape in around the whip so it forms a flag.  The tape is plaved between 1/2 and 2/3 up the antenna.  I tried it and it didn't work.  I have applied a longer flag to each whip with hopes that will work.

Anyone have any other ideas?



Thanks,


Tim KB0CFP
