Enjoying the discussion and I'm always looking a better antenna solutions. I have a tri-band Hustler mounted to the luggage rack, which is connected to the ladder, which is connected to the frame. Performance is poor and I saw a dipole configuration using "HamSticks" in another thread. Figured I'd give that a try and have ordered them for 20 and also a telescoping mast. With the mast I might be able to run a regular sloping dipole....but not for 40 meters. Real estate is always a problem for me.
The odd thing is that I'm at an altitude of 7,777 ft. and thought that would give me an advantage....but not so far
