I rarely drive it faster than 62 and it's in a wind shadow, but good point, I've added a safety lanyard. 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 |

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) |
