I'd be interested in how you mount your antenna to your back pack .

I'm looking to do some hiking and would love to mount an antenna off the top of the back pack. Whilst I have a few ideas, it would be handy to see how you did yours and if you have any advice.

@DENMONKEY

I made a metal frame that fits tightly into the back-pack and mounted a standard right angled 3/8" antenna socket mounted on the internal frame.

WELL DONE DAVE.

Sorry the SELF APPOINTED EXPERTS, HF PACK in USA do not like you being honored.

I also had great problems with a group of yl operators in USA many years ago causing considerable qrm to sos traffic I was involved with in Romania, they were also self appointed expert emergency traffic operators, who informed the frequency BELONGS to them at a certain time, I had another word to describe them but females do not have this organ.

WELL DONE DAVE.

Congatulations to Keith and Dave.

I understood that Keith was going to ZL to try this some time ago, and was truly chuffed to bits when I heard from Simon M0SPM that you guys had actually done it.

backpack to backpack..Brilliant!
