Hey Steve, I got called away for a few hours. When I returned, your site
was still up. I studied the situation very seriously, wondering why
wouldn't this setup play for you. Then like a lightning bolt, it hit me.
Look closely, there is NO coax connecting the antenna to the radio!
Eureka, problem solved!
73 and good luck bike-mobiling. Paul

station! Trouble is: It doesn't work. The 40m Hustler seems to need more
counterpoise. Perhaps a bigger bike would work? Also, I never did figure
out a good way to mount the key. Any suggestions? The antenna mount is
your basic mirror mount found at any Radio Shack/CB store. The gel-cell
will run that 1340 for eons.
