Run the base of the antenna vertically up about three feet. From that point, run the screwdriver coil horizontally. Then from the other end of the screwdriver, run a non-destructable whip as high as possible. It would look something like this: | | | whip | +---screwdriver coil---+ | X 3' | Base non-conductive support _________|______________________X_____ Top of RV Ok 3 feet would be a bit difficult... this RV is a 1990 Airex by Rexhall.. and it is 14ish feet tall. so it is about as tall as it is safe to go with anything that can't take a beating if it might need to. but the basic idea is to have the coil horisontaly mounted.. and a short wire or some sort to the mount that the whip is on if i understand it, that makes sense. the roof looks kinda like the following sketch there is a rail around the back of the roof and then the ladder, which the two are connected. then there is the ac unit in the middle in the back ------------------------------------ ------- | [] | |= -- ladder [AC]| | [] | | ------- | ------------------------------------ -- Registered Linux User #346565 |
