Thanks Dave. I think you'll pass the exam. :D

I have only a soft top and a bikini. I'm still tossing around a few ideas.

Guess what I happen to reading through this weekend? EM fields... I skipped over the math part of the review book (there aren't many straight-up math problems in the practice exam) and the next section happens to be fields. You were just lucky and got to be on the receiving end of some E-field and H-field stuff I wanted to commit to memory.

I'm in the same boat as far as trying to mount an antenna on a 40 that has either a soft top or bikini top. What did you end up going with?

I cheated, kind of. I put it on the spare tire carrier. Jim B. welded me on a small platform on the swing arm that's a perfect spot for the antenna(s). :D

Chris,

Can you post a picture? I would like Jim to do something similar on the tire carrier he is building me.

Cheers,

Jeff

When I can. My cruiser is at an un-disclosed location getting some work done, at the moment. :( If you tell Jim you want something like what he did for me he'll know what you're talking about. :D
