Hi,

Given the circumstances you have.. I would give some thought about putting
up a vertically mounted Small Transmitting loop such as the MFJ. Will it
work as good as a Vertical? , not one that has a good radial system under
it and a clear shout at the horizon.. but it sounds to me like it might be
just right for your needs.. Give them a Look I built one here and used it
for a couple of years mounted only 3 feet above ground and it worked
surpizingly well , considering it's size about 3' in diamiter . If I were
in your situation I'd mount it about 1 or 2 feet above the trailer roof.
Hope this helps,

Hi,

It seems that my location boasts 60 to 110 mph winds on a regular
basis. I had put up a 1/4 wavelength 20m vertical with 1/8 wavelength
radials elevated at 7 feet, with rope guys... and the wind blew it
apart like so much tin foil!

Does anyone know of a decent commercial design for less than $1000 for
a free standing 30 to 40 foot support that can take this darn wind???

Thanks,

The Eternal Squire
