ROFL.. I know the feeling.. I'd have to ask "parked or rolling"

Rolling I have the factory Bat Wing, and the stubby AM/FM, I have a Diamond 2-0.7 mtr antenna.. The CB antenna is actually INSIDE the rig, I'm considering adding a long copper pipe to the roof (this will be the low band "instant" antenna) which will hook to the KAT-1 Tuner. I may also add a 10 or 20 meter dipole on the other side (They will look like luggage rails when I'm done)

When parked I add a long wire (Off the KAT-1) and a mast (Flag pole) with a 2 mtr, 70 CM and 6 mtr antenna on a platform atop it (Along with a path-marker light.. This light, at that height, is kind of a joke, but if you are looking for it, you can in fact see it)

I also have an external Cell antenna, but just now it's damaged and missing.. Will be replaced or re-constructed depending on my mood when I get to it (And finances)

I do have a short fiberglass whip on the back that's my current "Instant" low band and a 35 foot copper "pole" I can assemble for low band when parked, all run off the KAT-1
