The tripod mounting system is nice too because it can be folded up and
put back in the house, RV etc. and thus can be used anywhere and it
should provide a descent ground counterpoise and a mounting system all
in one. I plan on purchasing one of these systems soon so I'll let
you know when I get it on the air.
I have one of the Alpha Delta Outpost tripod systems and it works very
well. It is portable, but at 15 lbs a bit hefty to lug around other
than
in the trunk of a car. I often use it with a Jumbo Buddistick (~14 ft
tall) and I get very good results.
Note that the Outpost will not work unless it is at ground level (ie it
is not suited for use on a balcony).
The product is a bit pricey, but it is made from heavy duty aluminum
with stainless steel hardware so it
will certainly last a lifetime.
One other antenna option worth considering is one of the better
Screwdriver-type mobile antennas and an Outpost mount.
I think this combination would make an excellent antenna for
low-profile home use as well as car portable operations, and
would be convenient as the antenna could be tuned remotely.
