If you decide to go to a bigger ground plane I have a suggestion.
Years ago I needed a quick and cheerful ground plane for a magnetic
base antenna and I found that auto drip trays made of galvalized steel
were available at quite low prices (Checker, Pep Boys, Autozone) and
work quite well. Mine resided on the patio roof on the El Tiro club
house for a while. Pehaps it's still there.

Andy,

I decided to go with a bigger ground plane and followed your
suggestion.

There is now a patio on top of my RV g. It's a little top heavy (a
hot tub and 5-burner grill will do that), but wtf, there will be
killer stargazing at Parowan, where applicants outnumber the 18M
nationals 42 to 1, 182 days out.

~tuno (really ... not counting the days)
