We used to  mount another grounded whip on the front of the vehicle for a nice loop. Very popular on 75 and 160 meters.

Lots of very funny guesses.  Thanks for playing along at home!

 

It is an NVIS mobile loop made by SMC (and SGC made the onboard tuner). Specs are below

 

Here it is unpacked:

The nice thing about it is it folds flat against the roof bars/roof rack when not in use (most of the time)

 

Specs 3-15 MHz

It will get installed on the roof rack bars of my land rover (Defender 110.  Not range rover – think soccer moms!) and will look something like this when done:

So may close guesses! Maybe a case of “Red Ryder BB guns?”
