Got some folks around SE MI that use this setup and hit parks around lunch time [ever notice how ham activities seem to involve food?] and just clamp it on with ham sticks also. The Outbacker would allow for more available bands...

Brian: If you have ANY metal nearby (e.g., railing), you could use the "vise-grips" mount and a hamstick, or better an Outbacker. The mount is basically a set of pliers with a stud welded on the tip. Using the Outbacker gives you the freedom to change bands simply by changing taps. This portable antenna system is easy to set up and move, works well, and is relatively inconspicuous. The great advantage is that it will be resonant on your operating frequency and not require a tuner. 73, Jim K5HO --------------------- Nunquam Secundum ---------------- > <snip> So - any antenna suggestions? Preferably something inexpensive and easy to build as I have almost no tools here. Some ideas I've been thinking about are a random wire (using the tuner), a homebrew buddipole, perhaps a magnetic loop to stick by the window, or a shortened vertical.
