Paul I agree, there appears to be a lot of leverage if you connect the MW directly to the VR-500. As a stock unit, there doesn't appear to be a clean solution. I do have a suggestion though. I don't have a Miracle whip but have used velcro to attach a small AM loop antenna (mounted in a small plastic box) to the back of my VR-500. I use a 6" M-M BNC jumper cable to connect to the VR-500. If I owned a MW, I would do something similar and would also replace that PL-259 with a female BNC. I also use the velcro to attach the VR-500 to my car dashboard. Works great & have had the original velco on the VR-500 for over 8 years now. Dan
