Bonding, bonding is key to your HF bands, minimum bonding straps 1”. Hood corners each side, your doors each hinge, your back your hatchback bonding both corners, your muffler to frame, if you have a catalytic converter muffler clamps and 1 feet before and after the catalytic converter for bonding, also body to frame. Driver side and passenger side of vehicle bonding every 18”. The radiator antenna is looking for RF, your trying to get the RF closest to the bonding potential not at but closest too. HF in a vehicle requires lots of bonding. There is no way around it. There is a good video by Mr bbi subject is called bonding, and another video is called install of vehicle is another video he lays out. Those videos will get you more educated on your vehicle and your bonding potential. Also electrical from your alternator to your battery to your frame requires bonding as well. Your ECG computer if you do not have any 31 material ferrites when you key up it will play havoc with your wiper blades your fuel pump your headlights just the name of few. You need those ferrites at the ecg computer at least 3-4 on each cable harnesses. I understand about the non-mentor that you do not have have your ever tried joining a repeater club? If you have more question, please do not hesitate to ask

Thanks timbrusky. Thanks for the tip, maybe bonding will help me get better on 40 meters. I don't use a mag mount any more, I use a hatchback mount that screws on the metal of the hatchback and I get continuity to the hatchback all the way to the front of the car with a multimeter. It would be interesting to know if bonding will give me better reception or coverage. So far, it's doing well. I know it can be improved. I'll check these videos and give them some thought.

I sold that antenna, felt it was too big to travel with. I got the Little Tarheel and I'm loving it. I usually do 20 meters most of the time, for 40 meters is much harder to get. 10 meter is also, ideal for the Little Tarheel. But, the 75A was well constructed and if you have the ability to mount it, I think you will find it very nice. Hams are always telling me how nice and clear I am doing mobile with the Tarheel.

Hello, hope it's not too late to comment here... quite interesting video, thanks. I happen to have the 3 single-band variants of this antenna for 10, 20 and 40m. I'm quite happy with these. Bandwidth is quite narrow on 40m as expected, but on 10 and 20m I get good SWR across the bands. I use a large diameter magnet mount (~ 20cm/8in diameter) set right in the center my car's roof which doesn't have a sunroof like yours, so more metal there. I was actually wondering why you keep setting your antenna to quite off-center spots in this video? For 20 and 40m, I also connect a wide ground braid that goes from the bottom of the SO239 to a nut at the hinge of the hatchback of my car. It does help.
