Dune Flags

Bruce,
I still want to do those ExplorOz dune flags!!

Cameron - I will add that the HF aerial would be too flexible as the flag is like a sail and will bend the aerial over. We sucessfully use our UHF antenna (but is very chunky and tall and has a massive spring base that keeps it pretty rigid). Another trick we use more often is to mount the flag to a tent pole by poking the pole through the bull bar and tapping it securely at both top and lower brackets of the bull bar for support (ie. don't try to mount the pole to the top of the bull bar but bring it right down to the base for support). You would generally be travelling slowly (ie. under 60km/hr) whilst flying a dune flag so it will hold together. The main thing is that the flag is best mounted to something at the front of your vehicle, rather than as some people do, on the roof. The reason is that when you crest a dune, the flag if on the roof will slant backwards and will loose height - if mounted to the bull bar then it will be the first thing an oncoming vehicle will see - the whole point of this safety device.Regards Michelle,
