[ICOM] AH-2B price and what I decided to do.

[Ken Kinyon]

After looking at all the options, I decided on a 20 foot telescoping aluminum
flag pole that I will mount to and insulate from the substantial rear bumper of
my travel trailer.  I will feed it with a 3 foot wire and have the magic 23 feet
that the AH-4 likes.  When in motion I will collapse it to give a total length
of 102 inches, apparently also an AH-4 Magic number.  At that length it will be
well below the roof of the trailer , and since the trailer is a fiberglass egg
for all purposes, it will think it is sitting out in the open.  When I am
stopped I can operate and be patriotic at the same time.  When the trailer is
not involved I will use a simple 8 foot or so whip, mounted on the tonneau cover
of the bed of the truck.
73 and thanks for all the advice.
