Years ago, we did a tower site range test with a guy that climbed up with his HT. I drove around and talked to him on simplex to prove out the site and potential of UHF. At the time (years ago) everyone kept saying "UHF will never work around here." Boy were they wrong.

A while back a friend had the chance to try a tower site and wanted a simple and quick way we could check coverage. So with 2, ¼ wave NMO whole mount antennas and 2 18” satellite dish pans. I mounted both antennas. Since these mounts were not shielded inside I used a couple strips of foil tape to insure the shielding.
