Good Morning Fellow Antenna "wizards"!
I always seem to get these "brain-storms" late at night. I have a
706 mobile with a small auto-tuner. I use a hustler 80m coil with a cap
hat. I am mainly interested in getting 80m as best as possible....right
now. Now,I know that hams stuck in condo's or apartments with limited
space can take "two hamsticks" OR even two "Hustler" set ups and get a
special bracket an mount the whole thing like a "DIPOLE"!!! Some even
use these "dipole set-ups" as drive elements on a YAGI!
Now "WHY" wouldn't that type of set up WORK on the rear of a
car ??? Instead of using the car as the"ther half" of the
antenna.....you would have an "equal,balanced-shortened dipole" on a
special mount. Naturally,you would have to fix it so that you could
feed it in the center of the antenna. Would this "thing" work as a
mobile antenna??

p.s.-I probabally should fire up the ENZEC to see what
"it" would say about it. I'm on a laptop now. I'd have
to go downstairs to do the ENZEC thing.
