[Skimmertalk] Miniwhip Antenna questions

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I received my miniwhip yesterday.  I was reading the instructions which 
seem to be out of date.  My miniwhip is enclosed in a pvp case so I 
assume that it is intended to be mounted as is.

The instructions also say to mount it as high as possible.  I am curious 
as to how high others are placing this?  It also talks about keeping it 
away from metal and grounding it to the mast. What if I just screwed it 
on to the side of the house or used a pvc mast.  Would I want to run a 
ground wire up to the bnc connector at the bottom?
