Hello All, The "new" screwdriver type mobile antennas certainly have their appeal. How does the Hustler, old Master Mobile, and old Rex Basset antennas...
I have used them all over the past 40 years, including some you have not mentioned. My High Sierra screwdriver (with added capacity hat) out-performs them...
The KJ7U 160-6 Screwdriver is what I settled on. I don't know why it works so much better that the Hustler.. but it sure seems to. And the added convenience...
While we are on this subject, I drive a 2001 Chrysler 300. Not the best antenna platform. I currently have a Little Tarheel II on a trunk lip mount. It...
I operated in the 7QP and other QSO parties this past weekend as a mobile entry. I drive a VW diesel so car-generated noise is not a problem but this time we...
Hello and Good Morning. My name is Butch WA8X in Michigan. I have decided to get a HF rig for our RV and even though I know there will be as many opinions as...
Butch, For a smaller HF/V/UHF radio I'd suggest the Icom IC7000. Faceplate can be remoted via a cable and it has a video out for using a remote monitor. There...
I'll have to second the IC-7000 - although if you're not looking for VHF/UHF maybe the IC-7200 deserves a look. I moved up from a IC-706MkIIG and improvement...
Of course we don't know what kind of radio you are going to install and in that case you might want to look up a user group for that radio to see if anyone has...
well guys , My truck has a custom mount on it design by me. if you want pictures i can send on it have a HQ-4-80 with Cap hat on with a IC-7000 using the...

Dear Group, I need some help. I have a Kenwood 480SAT in my truck. I'm using two ham sticks. One 40 meters, the other 20 meters. One is on one back door,...
Jim, what is the resonant freq you find on the 20m ham stick? have you used a MFJ-259 My hunch is the ground is bad. but that is just a hunch. You said on...
Have you tried swapping the antennas [not the mounts or cables] and seeing if the problem follows the antenna or stays with the mount/cable? Why don't you post...
Jim... Are you, by any chance, referring to 'Quick Disconnects' for mounting the antennas? If so, just about every Amateur Radio supply store sells them...they...
Ray, What bands do you want to operate and how much power do you want to run? First step is to run + and - power wires directly from the battery and be sure to...
I have to admit , I did see these mounts at a hamfest about 3 weeks ago...and they are very well made Jim wu5e ________________________________ From: n7emw...
Thanks to you all for the feedback. Here is some more information. Yes, I am hoping to have an HF station in the car eventually...cw mobile, actually! This...
There are some mounts that would work with a small HF or very small screwdriver HF antenna. An alternative is to get a trailer hitch (if available) and mount a...
... CW mobile is a lot of fun. However, a lip mount small HF antenna and QRP won't get you far. Visit K0BG's site for some ideas and background into what makes...
The suggestion about looking at <http://www.k0bg.com> http://www.k0bg.com is an EXCELLENT suggestion. I know and have spoken with Allan Applegate and he...
Normally we have to run pretty heavy wire (cable) from the car battery to the rig, especially if the xcvr is mounted in the rear of the car. But if you have a...
I haven't tried the large capacitor idea but would be interesting to try; perhaps best for CW or short cycle modes. I'm wondering however if the peaks that...
