Does the antenna tip come off?

I have a small grape size orange ball on the tip, is that a screw on tip? wanna put a flag on the antenna shaft.

Try it Jeff. If not cut the blasted thing off and thread it for a small acorn nut.

If it is just a radio antenna, no problem with cutting it to remove it if you cannot turn it to remove it. If it is for a cb and you use the cb, cutting it could cause a problem with tuning the cb correctly.

Thanks guys, not wanting to cut anything, if it is crimped on I`ll find another way to mount..didn't know if it was a threaded piece or pressed on but it is tight.
I`ll get a small wood dowel and run it through the flag`s end then attach it to the lower part of the antenna somehow.

Maybe stitch it on with fishing line and cover with a piece of tubing split down the side?

A couple zip ties to the mast, done deal.

Yea, that's what I`m thinking, one long one through the seam and two others one top and one bottom, zips are light and hard to break.

Boy wind sure does tear up a flag, denim thick Made in USA flag went for a ride to the store and gas station and already ends are fraying..maybe another mounting location where there isn't so much turbulence.

Save the nice flag and just get a cheap nylon car flag at Ollies or other discount store. The kind you close the window on are on thick plastic rods so may fit over the antennae tip.
