I saw one these antennas this morning. A guy was driving a newer Jeep Wrangler with the antenna mounted on his front bumper, just like the one on the pictures. It looked slick, nothing like my nerdy looking Tarheel screwdriver. Too bad he was driving in the opposite direction. I would love to see it closer. This one? https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/68921_447821828620109_736264003_n.jpg He wrotes:"I carried on a 20 minute 40 meter QSO all of the way home tonight with several hams ranging from Florida, Maine and Ohio. Great signal reports. I haven’t been able to do that for a long time" (source) New video "Stealth 93-series mobile HF antennas inside look" What's the advantage of mounting the antenna on the front vs. the rear bumper? I see many people mounting in the front but still could not see a clear advantage. It seems to expose the antenna a lot more to impacts. |
