Hello
They have a crazy person in New Orleans that says the K-40 can handle winds of 160 MPH. I have no idea where and what he will drive to get to that speed. I looked at the k-40 website and could not find and info on the magnet mount. Does anyone know how fast you can go with this antenna?
THANKS

Gto Its Cobra. There is this guy Named !@#$%^&*( in New orleans that says (This is not a joke ask gto) He says A K40 wip And Mount can be put on a helocopter and used and will not fall of with the magnet mount. Then He says a k40 Mm. antenna is a heck of alot stronger then a 102 wip. I have to here this bull every night in new orleans, Now this guy just bought a book on how to tune up radios so know he thinks he is a cb shop. He knows more then anybody in the world.

a mag mount k40 on a wirlly bird huh. lol
he'd soon find out what auto rotation is all about as well.
lord the things people with iq's of 80 try to pass off to the rest of the world as facts to try to look smart.
if they only knew it really showed thier ignorance they would keep the lips held tight together.

They will stay on to 200 plus mph but you have to put alittle swr grease on the tip, to keep the swr's low due to it going horizontal. LOL. |

Bullet,
Your right I have to listen to this guy tell me that he knows more then the Tech's in our local area. It gets anoying. He thinks he is the cb king. Oh ya He talks on a Antenna on a steel latter. He has everything to set up a base station but does not want to he has the push up pole And ANtron And radio but does not want to set it up. He thinks bird meters are not acurate. Everything that is good he says is bad. It gets very anoying... If you know what i Mean. The People on the fourm like(Me,RedDog,Gto) KNow all about it

The other obvious point is that mag-mounts do not stick to aluminum aircraft surfaces... |

Yes, a K40 is stronger than a 102 when flying down the road at 150Mph. There is far less whip to catch the wind with a K40 than there is with a 102.
As far as the K40 magnet goes, you can't go fast enough to blow one off a car. The main reason is the fact that if it's on the roof, the faster you go, the wind hitting the windshield will reflect higher over the roofline resulting in less resistance against the whip. The whip actually sees MORE resistance at lower speeds.
I'm thinking the only person on the forum that may be able to force a K40 off the roof would probably be Tech671. I kind of doubt he could get a K40 off with wind resistance. He'd probably just rip it off with torque within the first 5 feet starting from a standstill.
Your thoughts please Tech671 on this matter.

I got a k-40 to move from the middle to the rear of my cutlass,350-v8,7000rpm standing-start,6-inch wheel stand,110-quarter mile,11.4 seconds,alot of work just to move a magnet. |

Hey Bob.
Just how much do you have tied up in that k40 magnet mover?
And don't you think it would be easier to move it by hand or are you just to lazy to get out of your car while doing a wheel stand?
I will admit though, you HAVE come up with a innovative way to relocate your antenna. But I'm curious to know if releasing the parachute and slamming on the brakes will return it to its original place on the roof.
Later Bob.
