If you can't get a signal into or out of the radio, you're hosed, so most of the activity was first concerned with getting a decent antenna system, and then a mount that's portable.<br /><br />I don't know why I've ignored that roof mount, which has been sitting alongside the garage for four years now, but it sure looks like it's the best portable solution I've come up with yet.<br /><br />It's rugged, very easy to transport, and holds the antennas in a rigid way so once you align the base to North, it stays there.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-18237848314803931262013-06-12T13:22:29.078-07:002013-06-12T13:22:29.078-07:00Cool!
