Hello everybody, My name is Pierre, I just joined the BMHA group. I'm car-less and I live in an apparment right downtown, therefore I do most of my "real"...
Welcome to BMHA Pierre, Being carless is actually a good thing. If you've ever seen an issue of Adventure Cycling you've seen several who get along quite...
Bienvenue, Pierre! I cycle tour around France at least every other year, although next year I am planning to ride the End to End in the UK. My brother owns a...
Hi Barry, ... I sometimes use a RCI-2950 with a 5/8 whip + fake ground attachment mounted way back at the rear of the bike, to do 10m, but I find it's not very...

I'm thinking of changing my trusty old steel framed bike for an aluminium model. I will have to bolt on my rear rack, antenna mounts etc to the new bike, but I...
Darren, Make sure you get a nice rack mount, and a very stable antenna. I probably have the only "mag mount 2 meter antenna" on a bike mobile. See my pics on...
Hi Darren, Changing from steel to aluminum. I don't have any personal experience, but they tell me it rides rougher, less give, they say. But, if I were you...
Now THAT is a very cool idea. I am planning to get a tandem to use with my girlfriend, who is my height. So I figure I can get a lot of operating time while I...
For Bob Rice, Is your magmount a 5/8 wave antenna? I've used a 5/8 wave mounted on truck mirrors like a CB antenna, but I used the front of my trailer as a...
... Thanks Bob. I will use my existing rack as my antenna mount bolts directly to it and is very stable indeed. I normally run just on V/Uhf with my VX-7R. A...
... The aluminum itself will work fine as a ground. The metal itself is a significantly better conductor than steel, though not as good as copper (or silver,...
Thanks Mark for the in depth reply. I will take special heed of the warning about Aluminium Oxide. I used to suffer this problem years back on my 11M antennas....
... Where I live, there's the Canal du Midi ( http://tinyurl.com/2dekq ). The old barge-pulling paths on each side of the canal are now used as cycle paths,...
Hello Darren, In reply to your last post, I believe a aluminum ground plane is more effective, however, steel is harder and more stable under high wind loads. ...
For N7NET: Yes it is-- a steel whip 19", and has a very strong magnet. see file pic. I used it for the Marine Corps. Marathon last year, with a 25 watt Radio ...
... I do a 12 mile bike ride most days. It takes me exactly an hour to do. For most of the time I am ragchewing on the local repeaters. My battery last for at...
