HF antenna array. I didn't invent it, but I named it anyway! It hears and talks well on 10, 15, 17, 20, 40 & 75 meters. If you look closely, you can tell the mount is bolted to the steel beam beneath the fiberglass roof. There is actually quite a bit of steel framework in the roof, walls and flooring to make an effective ground plane. The mount and hardware are all stainless steel. The mount is a little wobbly and I may replace it with something a little more sturdy, but I don't think it will go anywhere while the RV is parked. I am a full-timer, and we don't expect to travel much.
again...

Very smart to have the XYL have a ticket, you can get away with all sorts of neat things.
Reminds me of an inverted Discone
