Interesting HF antenna design

Well, I don't care who you are, at least once any normal person is
going to
forget and drive right up to the pump without remembering to first lower
or
remove the antenna.
That antenna is a stunted runt compared to mine.
His is 1.5 m tall. Mine is 3.3 m tall in the driving
mode, 4.2 m tall in the parked mode. On mine, the
base of the antenna is on the truck cab at about
64 inches from ground. Even in the shorter driving
mode, my antenna is over 16 ft tall to the tip.
Got a link to a picture of yours? I'd like to see it.
I was running a Master Mobile antenna, about 8 feet long, and the base
at 9 feet off the ground for a while. You have to know your routes pretty
well to do that! G
