Jack,
We have 5 dual band antennas on MOBY with a 22' deployable mast with 2 TV
cameras, and a GP95 (2meter, 440, & 1.2Gig )
Almost all of the dual banders are Mag-Mounted on the roof - with additional
plates glued down for a doppler unit.
the mast stores in one piece above the awning, and the stinger with antennas
& camera store inside and makes a really big paper towel rack.
The Mast sits on a "convert-a-bal stinger on the trailer hitch & we build a
wingnut clamp mast mount on the spare tire holder.
We also support 4-5 operating positions..
For HF, we normally deploy a additional truck with a 85' hydraulic mast.
