[SixClub] 6 Meters Mobile

Get an old cheap Garmin GPS as they will display Maidenhead Grids directly.

I use to run a halo and 1/4 wave whip and used a coaxial 12V relay remotely
switched from the drivers seat. Probably because the halo was only 9' off
the ground it was always a toss-up which had a slightly better signal. But
make sure with the 1/4 wave you have the best ground you can get.

BTW, how do mobile travelers keep up with what grid they are in when taking
a trip?  It is easy to know what county I am in at any given time, but not
what grid.

Look for me in EM95.
