My portable antenna farm

 

My traveling antenna farm.  On the front of the RV is my 17 meter hamstick on a mag mount.  The tall one on the orange canopy is my 40 meter hamstick up about 19 feet.  On the back of the canopy is a short 11 foot GMRS antenna.  On the back is the RV you can see my 25 foot dipole 20 meter antenna.  Lastly is my old Saturn 10/12 & 15 meter antenna up 19 feet.

I know the antennas are low but I chatted with Mexico today to a town 1400 miles from me on 17 meters.  Also a town North of Rome Italy last week on 20 meters over 5100 miles away.  All other antennas except the GMRS have reached a thousand miles or more.  I haven’t had the  GMRS antenna above the tree line so it’s current range is very limited.  There are no repeaters in the area.
