102" antenna fail

Kinda thinkin that the bar you had it attached to was an issue..
Just an off the cuff idea..
Rabbi add some input here..

How bout a plate welded to the trl but had a hinge so it drops down when not in use..
Kinda like a folding step..When locked in a useable position you mount the ant like ya did with the 102 but trk a different ant like a 10k or wilson or somethin..

 

Just gonna be a pia to crawl up for ant mounting and coax connect..

 

Not that i know anything about the phase stuff of coax length but length becomes an issue so there has to be a way to adjust for it..

 

What kind of truck is it?

 

Heck..just attach coax to your stack..use that as antenna..lol

 

That's actually been done using a tuner and a non-conductive exhaust coupling.

 

Do you have access to a machine shop or a metal fabrication shop with a scrap pile of flat metal parts? Places like that will usually sell things out of the scrap pile for the market value of the scrap which is probably around a dollar fifty per pound which is a lot cheaper than you would pay market value of a 4 x 8 sheet.

 

Thats why i said it..Either it was here or someone told me it was done
