Advice on mobile antenna set-up....
Posted: Sat Aug 01, 2015 6:43 pm
As a (reasonably) keen /P operator, I enjoy the WAB net, activating squares when I can.
I currently have to stop, set up my /P dipole on a telescopic painters pole and get on air. To date, this has been reasonably successful and my WAB log is filling up....
I have however, when doing this, logged a few /M calls that seem to quickly get square to square. Great!
I am interested in knowing what set-up /M users have, particularly the antenna arrangement (I have a 706mk2 for the car & /P).
I have a Landrover Freelander 2 and would not be happy drilling holes in the bodywork, so I am looking at mag-mounts, towball mounts and possibly the use of roof bars (once purchased).
Cheers
