Ok, last time I asked a mobile antenna question on a reflector, I got
told to take it here. Hopefully someone has done something similar or
can help.
I want to install my HF rig in my truck. I already have a multitude of
VHF equipment installed (scanner, V7A, APRS, and a CB). My truck has a
tonneau cover. the soft kind with a metal frame. has anyone
experimented with loading up such a cover for HF use? I know 80M might
be a stretch, but ill bet I could get 10-20 on it. The metal frame IS
insulated from the truck body via some foam tape on the edges.
I have an antenna switch I was planning on using so that I can use the
CB antenna mount with a hamstick or two, but was just doing some
thinking over dinner tonight... thought it might be worth a shot.

thanks
