Another good idea Peter. Here on the West Coast of the USA 20M is our best band most of the day when I might be out mobile/portable. 17M is often much better in the late afternoon. The EFHW for 17/20M you presented in another video is perfect for this application. Thanks and 73....W6QR
Thanks Peter, excellent ( cheap! ) mobile antenna ideas , I started soon experimenyal on these wire antenna's ! Lovely weather and go outside. 73, Theo
Seems like you have an EQ/mixer in the corner of the desk. I am experimenting with an EQ on audio out from my ham rigs. Have you or will you make a vid about using EQ in the station?
In Houston, the diesel powered METRO buses have a grounding wire dragging the road surface. They say diesel engines produce a lot of RF. Could that be used to help a mobile ground situation?
Usually the rubber strap has a flexible wire embedded in it and it's purpose is to drain the static charge off of the bus as the tires are too insulating in dry weather. This is to keep from knocking customers on their butts when they touch the bus. A strap bouncing on the ground wouldn't kill RF interference. I've never heard of Diesel generating RF noise, they do not have high Voltage anything like gas engine do. Ron W4BIN
Experimentation! That’s the heart of ham radio! Thanks.
I really dig your A-Team van.. and all your videos
Many thanks.
Brilliant idea! Love your vids, magnificent Elmer👍
Brilliant Idea !!!!

Very good practical video, 🙏
I use this idea with a twist on just a length of wire, I use this for POTA activations. Video to follow.
excellent idea Peter...
Another good idea Peter.. Than you..☺️
I use the Harbor Freight Tools 290 version of the Jackery. Very flexible.
Genius 👏
The Radioman G.O.A.T. back at it again!!
Excellent idea! Would any particular kind of wires work better for these sort of antennas? I assume thinner wires would not work well for 50w or 100w?
👍

Your van is as tall as a hgv hook loader with 50 yard skip on board 15 foots lol no it’s about 10ft.
Fantastic advice and work arounds 73 Mike
This is my go to ham chnl kg6mn
I have a EFHW in the trunk of my jeep and can confirm it works quite well , for me at least. PU1MOZ
