[Antennas] Iron horse antennas

Thu, 23 May 2002 16:52:26 -0400

When you bolt the antenna mount to the trailer hitch make S U R E  there
is no paint, no primer, no grease, no debris, no anything between the
mount and the hitch.  You want that antenna to have the lowest ac [rf]
resistance to chassis that you can get.

BTW I use hamsticks for 40 through 12 meters and use three bonding
straps to get a VG rf ground.

I picked up a new 706 mkII G at Dayton and should be good to go. Any comments or advice on the mount. Any helpful hints would be appreciated.
