[Mobile-Portable] Prepping My Chevy Astro Van For Ham radio

[doc]

Brought my van over to my Mr. Fix-It neighbor to try and trace
some roughness in the acceleration.  After he diagnosed it he asked
if I had seen the trailer he left in my yard.

I hadn't since he hid it behind the van he also has "temporarily"
stashed there.

It's a double-layered boat trailer -- get this -- the top part tips up
while the lower part remains attached to the hitch -- and the Ham
part is that I can mount a push-up pole/tower on it and by backing
up cause a 70 foot push-pole to be vertical in seconds!

This is going to fun to modify and implement -- perfect for emergency
deployments.

Thanks! & 73, doc KD4E  ARRL-WCF-SEC
