This was from DL79 29.4877°N, 104.0145°W a few years ago.  I used two
of the 3/8-24" mirror mounts.  For antennas I hunted around and found
two old CB whips and cut them down to the right length.  It just so
happens I only had one day and the bands were dead Dead DEAD.  I think
I made like 5 or 6 contacts.
