The AB-1135/PRC
mount is an angle iron mount that is driven into the ground
by bootheel and has a Prc-10 type of antenna mounting block
to accommodate an AT-271 fishing pole antenna. I'm thinking
this mount, along with a few radials on the ground, will
give you a decent match but won't be very efficient or
effective on these low bands. I'm thinking a (very) long
wire antenna and a counterpoise wire might be more
effective. Think AT-984A/G from the PRC-25.

I have a tactical
tricked-out Yaesu FT-897D with an LDG AT-897 tuner. Even
have the requisite H-250. I have used it a time or two for
Moose and Squirrel with an inverted V in the back-yard. Is
there a practical design for a whip that would work on the
lower band 80/40/5MHz? I have some rods from a 292 antenna
and a folding antenna from a PRC-8,9, or 10. Running the
'897D from a 12v battery the power level is about 40 watts
at best (vice a solid 100 watts with 13.5V). Maybe I'm
barking up the wrong tree? A decent counterpoise is always
the bugaboo. TNX
