#MakeShitMonday, mobile radio edition... I finally got around to adding a mag mount antenna to my car in the last few hours before a big road trip. It's an old, unbranded¹ whip that I got as part of a mixed lot of radio gear at an estate sale last year. The integrated coax cable was long enough to go in through the back hatch, around the back seat, and up next to the driver's seat. I had previously tested the antenna on VHF (2m) and UHF (70cm) using the main radio in my shack so I knew it worked. While on the road, I successfully used the antenna connected to my Baofeng HT to join a local weekly net in Indiana! ¹ The antenna has a label that says "Mobile Antennas & Access, Burlington, NC". I don't find any references online, so I assume they went out of business and probably never had an online presence. Has anyone heard of them? #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #antenna cc: @cannibal@infosec.exchange
