    HAM Antenna Placement. Height vs Coax Length?

    Charlie: Thanks for your input. I'm going with a full length fixed fiberglass top, and as mentioned the trees will damage anything up that high anyway. For now I'll try a front bumper mount and see how that performs. Andy

    HAM Antenna Placement. Height vs Coax Length?

    Thanks for all the input guys. I will be using a half-wave antenna. I'm leaning toward a front bumper mount at this point as it will be a simpler install. If the results are not up to par then I will have to do something else. Andy

    HAM Antenna Placement. Height vs Coax Length?

    Unfortunately any kind of roof mount is not an option due to the potential of damage from trees while on the trail. The van has Aluminess bumpers front and rear so I'm hoping that they will act as the ground plane to some degree.

    HAM Antenna Placement. Height vs Coax Length?

    If I put the antenna on the front bumper coax length will be 13ft. To put it on the rear will need a 10th extension, so 23ft in all. (These are purchased lengths, not something I cut to length as needed)

    HAM Antenna Placement. Height vs Coax Length?

    Guys: I need a little help with antenna placement on my E-350 van. I’m installing a Kenwood 2M radio and 40” whip antenna. The van will have a fiberglass high top and is used off-road, so a roof or gutter mount is out of the question. Looks like I have a choice of front or rear bumper mount...

    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    It's a Fiberine Top. Link: http://www.fiberine.com/GVMR_Inc/Full_Van_Size_Top.html#2 The build quality is good, but I do not recommend their installs. I had them place it on top of my van, then strapped it on and installed it myself at home.

    Suggestions and tips for travelling with Dogs

    We tried this type of wire crate and it works fine if transported on the roof rack in a collapsed state. We quickly learned that if the crate is inside the vehicle, opened or not, it rattles and will soon drive you nuts. I am a big believer in keeping the dog safely restrained during offroad...

    Dana 60 Modification - Opinions Needed

    So, I took the van on a pretty good off-road shakedown trip a couple of weeks ago and was a little disappointed at the lack of tight turning ability. In looking at the front axle I see that even on full right or left lock there is 1.5 – 2” space between the outside edge of the leaf spring and...
