[TenTec] N4LQ/BIKEOMOBILE that doesn't work

[Paul Plasters]

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.
