Hi Erik,
That whip antenna (lower left)... Interesting mount!
But the antenna's base (the black part) looks like something that's intended to mount on a car roof or such, i.e. a

Jetstream JTB3 dual-band base station antenna FREE FREE FREE
Have taken my JTB3 out of service. Still works jus' fine. VSWR remains <2.0.
There's only one catch: I'm offering this antenna for the paltry sum of $0.00 to a new Tech-licensed member of our club.

New base antenna install + old antenna & mount
#antennas
Just a few photos.
Old magmount antenna is Cushcraft cs-270m (no longer manufactured).
New antenna is Hustler CG-144 with MKR-2 radial kit.
Initially, swr was over 2 to 1. I Had to remove 2-1/4"

The upgrade to new Internet service in the vault has caused some connectivity issues (firewall needs to be tinkered on).
Our Clan of Ninjas are working on it and it should be back online in a few
