In this video, I'll show you how to use an extended length receiver hitch ham radio antenna mast mount to set up a portable radio operating station. If you're into ham radio, you know that having a good antenna is key to successful communications. However, setting up a tall mast to support your antenna can be challenging, especially when you're out in the field. That's where this handy device comes in.
Throughout the video, I'll explain the different components of the mount and how they work together to create a sturdy and reliable setup. Whether you're a seasoned ham radio operator or just getting started, this video will provide you with a valuable tool for improving your radio communications when you're on the go.

If you need an excuse to get a mobile HF antenna in the air, Here it is ! 73
Part of me wants to just make one, but it's cold outside. Buying would be a good idea 💡

Looks like Harry makes a nice product, I ended up getting a hitch extension so I could open my tailgate it would be nice to be one piece !
Thanks Chuck

Harry is an awesome guy, as you know. We miss your smiling face Brad. 73
you could plug in a S0239 connector to that mast throw down some radials and you got a vertical
now your talk'in ;)
I like that much more than the fishing pole. You could put any kind ot antenna on that.
Nice setup! You must be in Utah, it's beautiful wherever you are...im an amateur photographer as well as into radio so i got two money pits...ha ha
Yes, very beautiful areas. I can't wait for it to warm up so I can take you guys out to some amazing places with me.
Money pits can be thing 😉, you are right
@K7SW ham radio sounds good!!
I'd love to know where your favorite camping/HAM spots are... I live in Davis County and am looking for spots just like that to camp and HAM
That will also be long enough to extend the tailgate of a truck with camper shell
I got one and it works great!!!
Where did you get the aluminum pole sections? I see one said $5.00.
Any Army surplus store ought to have them.
Yes, the prices have probably gone up since I paid for mine. Army surplus stores have been the win for me.
Great video and content. Tried to contact the maker for the hitch mount bracket, but after inputting the provided gmail address, I do not get his website. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for all you do.
It should be an email address. Do the link not show you the email ?
What are you using to mount the antenna to the back door/hatch of your van?
Do you mean my 70cm / 2m antenna mount ? That was a comet lips mount
@@hamradiowithkevin okay. Thank you.
I found the category of "door jamb antenna mounts" after commenting. So now I have that all to look into.
I had thought about putting a "permanent" Meshtastic LoRa radio on my Dodge Caravan, but I don't want to drill holes or mark it up unless I have to.
Putting in a CB would be nice, but we'll see what I can get away with.
How many can you stack without guys?
Physically, I might be able to balance 6 or so. A windy day might influence that number ;)
