[Antennas] portable antenna question

Thu, 6 May 2004 07:23:42 -0400

Cubex Quads has a neat way to go portable. He makes a mast that is secured by driving a tire over the base. The mast is affixed to
the base and the weight of the car holds it all in place. Its not on his website www.cubex.com so you will have to email Norm W4QN
for the information. [email protected]
