After retiring about 10 years ago and selling the homestead, all we had was our RV. So, we moved on it and traveled around the Southwest. I had been using my trusty old Spider mobile. If you remember them, a good antenna but had its drawbacks.
One day I saw an ad about the 6-40 Moto and decided to give it a try, after getting it and setting it up, which is very simple I might add, I mounted it on a pipe mount that will swivel and lower the whole thing so I can reach it. Then I swing it back up into position and tie it off. The mount is also grounded to the frame of my RV giving me a 40 ft, counterpoise. This worked pretty good for the Spider, but I never knew a mobile antenna like the 6-40 could work so well and be so effective. I use a tuner and I can get a flat SWR even on the low end of 80 meters. It may not be as effective as a full or half wave wire but just knowing I can use it on all my favorite bands is more than enough to satisfy my operating styles.
Take my advice, I’m 80 and have seen a few mobile antennas but my money is on the 6-40 Moto, a well-made and well worth the money antenna.
Thanks,
John
