Anyone out there know of any decent solution to getting 160M working in a
mobile? The application is a semi-truck. I've got the Iron Horses for 75,
40, 20, 15, and 10M, but I'd like to work something out for 160 meters
that will work on the truck.

I know I'm going to take an efficiency hit, but you're doing that for
everything except 10M on a Semi anyway.. Just so I can get a signal out
there to be heard, in the off chance.

ANY suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Big screwdriver with a proper top hat and a good impedance match at
resonance.
The resonant feed point impedance must be a bit less than 10 ohms.
I recall in QST a while back a guy who'd done WAS on 160 from his pickup, so
it can work.
