Holy smokes, you guys are awesome. Thanks for all of the info and such a quick turn around. In terms of getting to know the WS-19 it never ceases to amaze me how many components and variations are out there. Just when I think I learned something I come to find out I haven't even scratched the surface.
It's funny, I didn't even know these various mounting bases were supposed to be flexible until I saw newsreel footage of a British tank spinning his turret around and bending over the antenna by the base and watching it spring back. I guess the ones I have are just so old and brittle the idea of them being flexible when knew never crossed my mind.
In fact, I just found out yesterday that, much to my chagrin, I seem to have busted the top of my short rubber aerial base on the pogo stick because my SW antenna must've hit a tree branch. Basically the molded rubber top has separated from the metal disc into which my antenna screws in. Don't know if I described that well enough. So I guess I'll have to run out there with some two part expoxy and glue that back. So much for flexibility.
At any rate, thanks again. I'm going to drop Brian an email about perhaps obtaining one from him.
Best Regards,
Chris P (too many Chris' on here apparently)
