Re: "Miracle Whip" no, stop laughing
From your description, and what I can see of the MW online, my suggestion would be: Cut a piece of PCB the size of the case top and epoxy it onto the case, drill, then screw the whip back on. Maybe a

Re: "Miracle Whip" no, stop laughing
That wasn't the question. The question is what kind of ground radials or ground plane would be needed with it? It's a vertical. It obviously works quite well with the car body as a ground plane

Re: "Miracle Whip" no, stop laughing
I googled it and it actually looks like it's using a rather standard sized project box. It even looks kind of like a utility case like they might use for a wall plug or something. wrote:

Re: "Miracle Whip" no, stop laughing
that sounds like the kind of thing I fire up my 3d printer to fix. If you don't have one and can get me detailed pics and measurements, I might be able to chop something out for you.

"Miracle Whip" no, stop laughing
