[TowerTalk] Temporary tower/antenna question

[Missouri Guy]

I prefer a simple trap vertical for portable use.  

I use an old HyGain 18avt/wb modified for airline travel.  
The antenna bag includes a tripod and coax.  I use "roof mount" 
radials eventhough I mount the antenna on the ground.

73,
Charlie, N0TT
