M.O.C. #3845
Hello from WA4YON in East Tennessee
Licensed in 1965 and still an avid 6 mtr.operator. repeater on 53.25
I run the Icom 706M2 in my tow vehicle with an antique webster bandspanner on vhf,diamond 2 band on 2& uhf.
I usually put up a long wire to operate on 75 mtrs. when I can.I use a fiberglass telescoping pole attatched to the ladder which works well with approx.60 ft. on each leg.
I sometimes use a Kenwood TS-440S when parked because of the automatic antenna tuner.
My antennas are mounted just behind the cab (too close) for optimum operation, but where else? my vhf is mounted on a ball attatched to the side of the tool box with a double spring setup to prevent whipping around.
No setup in the Monty, but considering using the 75 ohm satellite outlet to exit the trailer and live with the mismatch.
Good hamming -- GENE wa4yon@aol.com
