Nice video, Frank. Using a file or grinder wheel, to "score" (and then break off) the unneeded "Stinger" portion of the antenna vertical element, is a convenient way to shorten stainless steel antenna stingers.
What I got was a 3/8 Chrome Stud for a CB antenna. I took it apart and from that I got the adapter. Never seen a 3/8-24 to UHF adapter by itself - well not yet.

Thanks for the tip.
I used Sirio 16cm magnet mount - in the middle of the roof. In resonant point swr 1.01, Z~50ohm +/- j0
Me too. What I don't like is setting it up and then taking it down when I'm on the road.
@@frankwc0o how about radials? did You tried tripod and radials?
@@mateuszbernat4727 Not on this antenna, but on an MPAS th-cam.com/video/qRrv-DF8FXk/w-d-xo.html
Where can I get the adapter for the UHF to 3/8 mount?
