[TowerTalk] Travel trailers & efficient antennas?

[Glenn Pritchard]

Hi Mike
I had a small Yagi (TA-33) on the roof of a fifth wheel on a non penetrating roof mount and used a vertical as well.
The 18avt on the roof worked very well, adjusted the sections as a roof mount+-. No interference to anyone, they are in 2/5 ghz.
