Evening all,

Question for the HF buffs out there - I have access to a Codan HF (either a 9323 or NGT with 9350 autotune antenna) that I want to mount on my 05 Nissan Patrol. Question is - how do i mount the antenna at the rear of the vehicle? - it has a dual wheel Kaymar carrier fitted. Getting the transceiver fitted is no big deal as I have access to a great business in Tamworth to do that - it's just getting a bracket that will support the weight of the autotune AE that is causing me some concern. Pictures would be really good- PM if you have pic's of your setup that matches my vehicle
Footloose - where are you ?????

Cheers

Yes still 'doing' the Canning - strat from Wagga on 12th July due back home 11th August

Not going via Simpson - will cut across to your home town and then over to Ceduna and up to Wiluna

Will be listening out on the HF skeds to see how you are travelling
