Tarheel and Turbotuner
I am still wrestling with the antenna on my silver Avion (looks like an Airstream). I do not want to be knocking holes in the aluminum to mount an antenna, so I am looking at a bracket on the A-frame at the front with a metal pole bolted to it. On this pole I would mount a Tarheel screwdriver and bring the coaxial and control cables inthrough the lower belly of the trailer.
The pole would put the bottom of the antenna about 9 feet off the ground.
Will I get sufficient ground plane with this arrangement to have a workable antenna?
I will most likely use the FT950 in the trailer and leave the FT857 and ATAS 120 antenna on the truck.
