Hi Ron
Well my sig disappeared around Forbes after the draft from a passing
Pantech
snapped my mobile whip about 3-4 inches from the base - it was left
dangling
like a pretzel!. As it was an unplanned rushed trip to Adelaide I did not
have the time to see if I could fix it there. However I stopped over in
Renmark for a few day on the return trip about a week later and managed to
get it fixed with the help of Ivan VK5HS. It performed fine on the return
trip even if the antenna is now some 6 inches shorter.
Good to see the mobile activity is being monitored. Great stuff!
Cheers Larry vk4clm.
