I've kept a magnet-mount scanner antenna there (a little inboard of there actually) for donkey's years. The antenna has two traps on it, and I bent it just below the bottom trap so the rest of it is vertical. For a transmitting antenna I think you'd want to make the bend just above the loading coil, and it still might do interesting things to the VSWR. Of course with a ball-mount no problem. david
