Here are some pictures of how I made my antenna and where I put it. Richard, just a suggestion. I noticed one thing that I would not be comfortable with in the picture of your battery mount. That is the hose clamp battery hold down. That setup puts a ground source much too close to the positive battery terminal in my opinion. Any stray tool, or metal object could very easily cause a very serious electrical short circuit. I=99d much prefer using a heavy plastic zip tie or two, in place of the hose clamp,which is what I actually use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kolb-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kolb-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kolb-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kolb-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
