Thanks for all your inputs.....Great thread and Info. I really have been Blessed with everyones ideas and thoughts!!
I have an antenna bag packed....several aluminum poles, a roll of wire and some ropes for supports and tie downs. bolts screws and etc..
Plan to work up a 1/4 wave vertical and if time allows a dipole to see if one works better than the other....never know what conditions will bring. And I may pull off the wilson 1000 mag mount and haul it just for grins? it has worked well mounted to my Tacoma back before the first of the year. I worked over 30 counties but the radio started slidding around on freq... so it is in the shop. Hopefully I'll get it back before I die? but thats another story.
This trip is going to be a blast if I make a few DX contacts during the non fishing time it will just add to the FUN. We leave on the 6th with 2 or possibly 3 boats ..... I sure the folks seeing us launch will think the "Homeless Hoard is heading to Mexico!" It's hard to believe the amount of water, ice, fuel, food, and gear it takes to spend a week on the beach!! Now to find a metal cooler to mount the mag mount down on:blushing: I like the cooler idea better and better!!!!!!!
It has been very hot the last couple days and my wife has had me on yard\digging duty? {Cry_river} I've dug enough holes over the last few days, hell if they were end to end the chinese army could crawl into south Texas!!
Again thanks for all the input and ideas......this is the best forum
