Hey #HamRadio folks, please take a moment to answer my quick poll.
If you put your current Band and Mode into an #APRS beacon, does that count as a spot if the actual frequency is not included?

Secondary road test complete!
The whip makes more noise than the noodle. The remainder of the noodle does a good job of preventing the cable from flapping against the roof.
As expected, SWR on 40 M is whackadoodle and steps will need to be taken. I'm told that using a dremel to remove the powdercoat from the plate where the mount bolts on, as well as the three magnets, will greatly improve this. I will also try a ground to the car.

The pool noodle is super quiet. I was slightly concerned there might be loads of wind noise, but that turns out not to be even slightly the case.

The pool noodle sacrifice is complete!
