Mobile Ham Setup Planning (2M/70cm)

[gnihcraes]

Hood mount doesn't fold back, it just follows along with the tilt of the hood when you open it. You just have to plan the best location for it. It might not work in all situations, but I've had the same mounts on multiple cars, I just move them over when I get rid of a car.

Roof mounts are better if you can get a 2 or 3 inch fender washer between the antenna connector and the sheetmetal, this gives a little more surface area than just the 18ga metal.

Yes, my wife's jeep shown, is currently capped, and I've never used it, but power and antenna cable are ready if I should need to swap or install a radio. (emergency use)

I even have a mount and antenna on my bicycle. Good fun to go Bicycle Mobile Ham Radio! Pictures of everything tomorrow when I get home.

I'm remembering all kinds of things now that you all got me rolling. ha
