Any recommendations on this ? I know that an atv would not provide much of a ground plane, so I think a 1/4 wave would be out of the question. For optimum performance, a 5/8WL needs a better ground plane than a 1/4WL. I once provided four radial whips attached to the luggage rack on my motorcycle which worked with a 1/4WL vertical. It performed well. Any recommended "type" (wavelength, etc) and brand for this use ? On my bicycle, I use a J-Pole made out of ladder-line. It is attached to a fiberglass bicycle flag pole. It doesn't need a ground plane. This should work well on an ATV. You may even already have the fiberglass flag as is required when riding on many beaches. -- 73, Cecil http://www.w5dxp.com |
