[WVDXA] 6 M Signals on the Mobile

[Charlie Young]

Another good idea.  It just never occurred to me to even listen to 6M from the mobile. 
The antenna matches good with the whip in place.  Now if I can just work somebody, I might get really enthused!!   I have gone outside twice since noon and have heard nothing.  I guess the morning is the best time? 
 
 
Thanks.
