Welcome aboard Kirk!
Hope you enjoy this site as much as I do. Been there with the 'Ham Sticks' and like you found limited success. I got much better results with 'Ham Stick' di-poles mounted on a 23' painter's pole by the back door of our Zinger camper. This allows me to open the door and use the 'Armstrong' rotator to turn the dipole as needed. Since the camper is semi permanent, have put up a G5RVjr in the trees and the results are even better.
Good Luck and 73!
