Howdy Folks,

Little unusual question, but I seem to remember at the APRS symposium a
few
years ago (that was a while ago now come to think of it..), someone was
there on a bike with a ham rig installed..

I'm just in the process of fitting up the intercom on the bike, and wiring
in the ipod, phone, navman, UHF cb, etc.. And am also setting up my D7
with
an etrex attached for APRS..  I'm wondering, if anyone has fitted up
antennas to their bike, where do you find the best place? I can't decide
whether it's best to do up mounts coming off the mirror mounts, mount them
off the side crash bars, or run a mounting bar to put the antennas either
side of the top box at the back..

Cheers,

Damien

  We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
  and tore the world asunder
