In one of the CA 75m shootouts, the strongest signal by far
was from a large RV with a motor-erected vertical on top.
Of course, it violated the 12.5 foot height-above-ground
limit for official entries. Heck, the top of the RV was
almost 12.5 foot above ground.

A beautifully constructed 23' marine antenna on the roof with custom
fabricated lift mechanism, I believe? I think I saw that rig at Quartzite
in January. Fantastic.
