[Dizzy-Dick]

I was standing outside my RV trying to figure out a quick way to get an HF antenna added that would not hit the trees and bridges along my travels and still produce a usable signal. Well, my son stopped by and asked what I was doing, so I told him I was thinking about mounting insulated spacers along my rain gutters and run a loop of wire around the roof.

Well, he suggested why go to all the trouble of making insulated spacers when the the rain gutters where aluminum, just tie into them.and use them as radiators. They are between 25 and 29 feet long seperated by 8.5 feet.

Does anyone have any suggestions on whether that will work? Or if they could be tied together and used in parallel? I am running an Icom 706MKIIG with a LDG Electronics Z100 Autotuner.

When I had a bumber pull, I ran a Hustler tri-bander on the rear tow vehicle bumber and mag-mounts on the roof for vhf & uhf.

Any suggestrions would be helpfull, this is my first motorhome.

73's and happy camping,
