6M and 2M loops, plus 6 element 2M yagi on 6ft tall tilt-up mast on roof rack rear bar. Yagi stays parallel to roof.

2 front guy lines act as tie downs to the front bar when lowered for travel. A 2ft tube pins perpendicular to mast base, clips to center mast pull line and another line goes to the ground for a one handed pull up.

Spent last few days near Steens Mtn in SE Oregon motorcycling by day and playing radio by night. Propagation has been poor but have handed out a few contacts from the rare grids DN03 and DN02. Headed to Hells Canyon abd Enteeprise, OR (DN15) next for a week of riding The weekend is a VHF contest also.
