Jeremy,
You're right, being next to the metal of the RV is the problem. The solution is just exactly what you probably think it is, move it away from the RV. The "how" is the hard part, there really isn't a 'good' way of doing it that doesn't envolve either a lot of effort, or money. Tilting the antenna may make some very small improvement but don't count on it. The idea is to get it away from the RV as far as possible, or above it as Cecil said. If you could raise it far enough to get the exposed coil and whip above the roof line, performance would be much better. If the whip isn't very 'whippy'/flexible, I think I'd see if I could find one that is. It will increase the survivability of the antenna some. By the way, you would then have an antenna and 'BCI', "Bridge Clearance Indicator". Good luck... 'Doc PS - You will also need to brace/guy the antenna. Plastic of plexiglass brace works just fine. |
