Hello Don and list,
The antenna you are describing is for receiving. Using the R-422
receiver for example.
A better base would be the AB-558/GR or the AB-15/GR using the mast
sections you have described.
For transmitting etc. one could use the AS-1729/VRC (available from MR.
G.R. Baker on this list)which consist of the MX-6707 matching base unit
and two sections of antenna, AS-1730 and the AT-1095. The radios that
would (could) work could be RT-524(*)/VRC or the RT-246(8)/GRC and in
various configurations with COMSEC Equipment (VINSON or NESTOR) for
example.
These mount on the CUCV antenna Bracket (NSN 5820-01-200-0180) available
in kit form from saturn surplus.
This is a little info that might help.
Best regards,
