Here are some photos of my portable operation from what I refer to as the Prosser Aerodrome Campground, otherwise known as the Prosser Airport campground.
The rig is an Icom-706 MkIIG with the AH-4 automatic antenna tuner. By the end of the 2009 camping season the 90 foot inverted L longwire with a 65 foot counterpoise laying on the ground had morphed into a 135 foot inverted U longwire with an 80 foot counterpoise on the ground.
The antenna comes from the tuner on the floor behind the passenger seat, out the top of the back door window and up 30 feet to a telescoping pole fastened to ground in front of the truck. The horizontal part of the wire is about 75 feet and then hangs vertically to near the ground from the 30 foot pole at the far end. The photo revisions were posted July 26, 2010.
