[OZAPRS] VK4VP-15 Query 1.30pm Saturdayextremelyfrequentbeacons?

[VK7DIK]

Middle of the roof is the best spot but I doubt you want to put it there.
I have a SCREWDRIVER antenna mounted on a J pole on the back left hand
side of my Toyota station wagon. Seems to work fairly well. I have used
this mount for other antennas as well and it is a good compromise. The
base of the antenna is about 200 mm above the bumber. Make sure you earth
the base well. Hope this helps.

Cheers, Dick.
