TNX for the responses so far.
I like to band hop and rag chew so I would rather have an antenna I can tune from inside.
I had a buddipole at one time. Neat for portable ops but not for me.
I had thought about the mast from the hitch area (or elsewhere) to get a screwdriver or other types into the air and that may provide the mount for me just fine.
With a screwdriver I would rather be able to see it for reference marks for quicker tuning as I have had a couple of them. I could mount it up front so I could see it I guess.
I had an OutBacker at one time which worked nice but again you had to get out to change the plugs.
Someone in another forum some time ago said they used a push up fiberglass mounted pole to snake a wire up and then tuned it. I am not sure where they got the lightweight pole but it sounded good too.
