Yeah I guess every thing other then a tower is a compromise. I have it mounted on the very rear corner of the pickup bed on a aluminum angle bolted to the bed frame work. One issue I had was the plastic bed! I had some #4 copper wire left over from a grounding project that is woven under the bed as a counter poise love the plastic bed but it's not very conductive. A memory box maybe in the future would be a good bit easier, my ham addiction is supported by a part time job and I work on an as needed basis so I have to pray for some thing to break.
