How many antennas on your rig?

[w7wv]

I got to counting the other day. I think the wind resistance may be getting out of hand.
On my MH, factory installed I have a CB antenna, two AM/FM antennas for two separate systems, the standard bat wing and a satellite antenna for the TVs.
To that I have added a 102" whip for HF (tuner is inside) and a dual band VHF/UHF antenna and still have to add another 2 antennas for the aircard and cell phone.
I hope that will be the end of it but as a ham I have a bad feeling.
It's starting to look like a rolling antenna farm!

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

I don't have all the antennas up but when I was thinking of possible solutions I came up with this list

2M/440 Mobile
Satillite Radio Mobile
Satillite TV Parked
Air Card Mag Mount
CB Mobile
2M/440 High Gain Parked
HF1 Parked
HF2 Parked
FM Permanent
TV Permanent (obsolete)
GPS Mobile

I believe all I need is one more...

OK, so how are you going to mount that tower to your rig??

Radio said it right...can always use one more...only antenna on the roof of the 5'er is my tv and broadcast antennas...when parked the UHV-6 goes up on the roof rails and my Maldol HVU-8 goes up on a tripod...I throw a dipole up if I have room. All hooked up to my ldg z-100 tuner and icom 706...

I used to just attach more wire (I have some flexweave I used to make dipoles out of) with a clip to the tip of my 102" whip on my truck I towed the 5th wheel with.
I have not done it yet with the MH but I am ready for it. I like to throw the other end up in a tree when I can.
The AH-4 tuning can get interesting but it gives me a lot more wire in the air.
