2017+ Cascadia Evolution Antenna Mount

And the current mess. Need to re-do, and I think it’ll be easier to live with down on the dashtop.

Gotta love that “parking lot & the 14-hr clock is ticking” pro install, huh? Ha!

Sure do need some short coax jumpers. Had to grab a 9’ to run from heater to transceiver.

 

I think I get it.

Spell check?

Lower doesn’t move badly. Agreed about upper.

Spot check at speed shows SWR same range.

Reflect a different question.

I’d be happier with an antenna that stayed upright.

But none of them will do well in a 90-100 wind.

 

Note the design. Antennas are connected.

MFJ-347

And Sched 40 now in place.

Crosswinds today on the downhill outbound leg.

I start a number of the wizards videos. Video in general just too slow for me. I tend not to finish most. The need for a script is what sets off the worthwhile from the tedious.

So, am interested that LMR-240 could be used for a co-phase harness. And it makes me wonder about more flexible LMR-400. I’ll go back and look at it. Thanks.

I also need a fair number of coax jumpers made, so a fair order would be coming.

Understood about Amphenol quality.

 

I ordered and received two. I’ll pull the other one out from the bag under the bunk tomorrow. Some better pics.

 

The fun, or funny part, of the dipole arrangement has been, once away from the DFW metro area, being able to hear AM radio stations across the CB at night. Faintly. Words or lyrics never distinct. But obviously country or talk or ghetto.

A first for my experience while mobile.

“Hey, sure is quiet on 19 tonight”

“Shut up stupid. Now I cant hear what I think is Red Sovine”.
