I've read KE3HT's report using it for his rover and its seems like a
good fit for my situation.  The 12' boom is not so long that it should
attract the attention of the HOA and since my 736 has 50/144/222/432
that allows me to get on the air with three bands and I'm going to put
my 6M KB6KQ loop up on the tower as well.  Again, not good signals,
but it is a better signal than what I have right now.
