We travel in our Monaco Diplomat and I want to take the Kenwood 570 with us for HF. While the wife is shopping I want to get on 20 and 40 meters, participate in nets and enjoy DX. I am wanting ideas on antennas. I have ordered a 40 foot fiberglass pole to experiment with and have looked at the Tarheel setups, but I do not intend to use the radio in motion. Since RV parks are not ideal for setting up a wire dipole I am thinking the 40 pole may be the best option. I would like to hear what others are doing.
