What Mobile HF Antenna Do You Like? Since I now have my General I will be researching HF antennas for the van. I would like to get one that is a multiband unit with a motor drive system. As I need to park in parking garages a lot I want to have the means of remotely lowering the antenna when needed. Please give all your feedback on what you like. Thanks,

Rowland there are a number of good choices. If money is no object, I
think the Hi-Q are excellent. On a more economical scale are the High Sierra and the Tarheel, both of which are well made. I have a High Sierra and I think some other in the club have the Tarheel. Everyone I know who has either of these likes them and I would consider them equals. You will also probably want an automatic tuner for your screwdriver. I have the Turbo Tuner and like it. How you mount the antenna is important on a mobile installation. A good source of ideas for mobile installations is Alan Applegate's web site http://www.k0bg.com/. I will be glad to show you my installation if you were interested.
