I thought this was interesting and would share it with the group!

Don't know how well it would work, but it sure looks cool.

Would work great from 13.6 to about 40.8, maybe to 54.4 with some degradation.

So-so to 80 or 100, and like a random collection of metal above that.

I see it's mounted on a trailer, try being inconspicuous driving down the road while monitoring with that monstrosity. :lol:

Some people seems to think that a huge chunk of metal in the air makes a better antenna than something small and properly tuned for the freqs you're listening to. This would seem to be a classic example. I'll take the trailer without the antenna attached to the mast.

I wonder if the trailer has a N connector or SO 239,it does'nt say...LOL

Something about that picture looks phony. Looks cut and pasted or digitaly imposed. I may be wrong but look close.

Actually,I think it is pretty legit.

I saw this same setup on e-bay a while back,different background(scenery,trees,ect.) - same price too!

If you get one,let us know how well it works,and,maybe post us a pic or two of it on your roof!(tripod mast mount ought to do the trick!)LOL
