I'm inclined to agree here as you lose ground plane and reflection with a bumper mount. You would retain close comms, but; repeater and longer distance simplex will be affected depending upon your forward face direction. There are some very appealing low profile antennae that may work better...

that is pretty epic....I see a new project in my near future. Great write up and the photos are much appreciated.

That's because you looked like you knew where you were going and they are obviously lost....must've been a tough drive across the ocean :D

Sounds dirty doesn't it? LOL

Why can't the weekends last longer than the weeks themselves?

Welcome fellow prepper! well, I'm kind of a poser or just a really bad prepper. Whenever I get my preps in order, life happens and I end up using them to sustain. Maybe thats what makes me a better overlander. When it comes to rigs, it would be my opinion that whatever is more comfortable to...

Passed you on the 99 S near Macfarland... gave you a honk. Was in a white service van...lol Got home from the rally to a ringing work phone. Had to head to a service call in Bakersfield. Drive all weekend and go home to drive more...lol

We will be on FRS CH13 for close comms and cell phone for more distant comms (DX). if anyone else is reading this and desires to meet up meet there and look for the...

Take the 198 to Visalia and meet up with us and we can Caravan to Fresno from there. Or if you were to take the 41 to the 198 then the 198 to the...

Is it Friday yet???

ok, that is awesome right there. "Glamping" or not....nothing like sipping a tall glass of sweet iced tea, while sitting in a folding chair, in front of your tent, with your rig parked right next to ya....

ok, thought I'd write up a little list of my gear: I am a Kenwood guy. I cut my teeth on a TS-520S (dip and peak, repeat), I feel Kenwood has the best receive audio of the major brands. Yaesu comes in a close second. I also have a TS-830SE, TS-130SE, and a TS-50S. I use a Jetstream (chinese)...

I did the same thing when I was waiting for mine...lol I actually got to the point where I was calling...they got a little annoyed...
