<font size="-1">Hi Liz,<br>
<br>
I also run the HF30FX. It's pretty good but I don't have a great
mounting system for it. It is rigidly mounted to the bull bar and
the tuning lock nut has come undone on corrugated roads and messed
up the SWR. I really need some sort of spring loaded mount but
haven't come across anything that I like.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

I used a Diamond HF30FX vertical mobile whip on a couple of
vehicles.
<br>
<br>
Tracked ok to Moomba and down Stuart Highway
<br>
<br>
Was using tinytrack and IC-706 but I do not recall what power
possibly 25W or so.

Subject: [OZAPRS] antenna for mobile HF-APRS
<br>
<br>
Having bought a very expensive antenna holder with a free car
included,
<br>
I've got somewhere to mount HF antennae at last.
<br>
While the OM slaves away fitting radios has anyone any suggestions
for
<br>
an HF vertical for APRS on 30m?
<br>
<br>
The plan is to use the Ultimate3 from Hans Summers, coaxed into
APRS
<br>
beacon use, and a single band antenna would be suitable.
