The C-whip monoband antenna.
I ordered 2 of them: One for 20m and one for 17m. The antennas look like the "hamstick" or "buddystick". They are 2.6m long, regardless for which band. I mounted the antennas on the 3/8 mount of the Jeep and made a measurement with the Rigexpert. After a few minutes I was able to tune both antennas to the following SWR:
The SWR is way better on the c-whips than on my Outback 1899. I didn't make a direct 1 on 1 comparison with the old antenna but I made a couple of QSOs and got nice reports from everyone. I should get the 15m and the 10m as well. :)
