Great picture. What happens when the guy buys gas and drives under the
overhang at the filling station?

It's hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like it can be adjusted
to lay flat. Whether or not this can be done in a convenient manner is
another thing, I guess.

For only 20 Euros he'll tell you how to build one and all your questions
will be answered.

Well, I don't care who you are, at least once any normal person is going to
forget and drive right up to the pump without remembering to first lower or
remove the antenna.

Or is this antenna story just a way to earn some money? You have to send the
guy at least 20 Euros (approx 20 USD) in order to receive (hopefully) the
construtional details in March 2006...

If it is a true ham project, I don't understand why the details can not be
published on a simple web page. At least the outlines.

I can make a better offer. For only $20 US, I will tell you how to
build a reduced size bridge that is only 10% of the length of what is
needed to span the river, but it will work just as well. Promise!

Nah, I need a warf for my beachfront property in Arizona though.

Right. I personally would only use such a rig under special situations
(i.e., the thing only goes on for a weekend or something.) Everyday
use is asking for trouble.

Mobile installations have their own challenges. I'd probably live with
the trade-offs and put a big old whip from front bumper to the back.
One should be able to use various tricks to electronically lengthen or
shorten the whip to tune to the range you want, right?
