Steve,
Check out my site below for some suggestions on key and antenna
mounting (and links to other bike mobile sites). I also have a photo of
a clip-on capacitance hat, which I use to achieve resonance on 40 and 80
m cw with my Outbacker. That may help your hustler.
Hope to be on bike mobile during QRPTTF contest (and every weekend
from now on, for that matter!)
