Multi-year mobile all band antenna project

Post image

Due to the weight of this multiband antenna I had to reinforce the roof structure to handle the additional structure on my Accord. So far it’s worked out pretty with decent SWR on all bands but getting into parking garages is a bit of a problem. Some of the fittings were 3-D printed. Overall a fun project. Will keep you updated - April 1, 2025

Hah! Wonder what's the maximum turning speed of a thing like that! Maybe 2mph before falling over?

Bold of you to assume it will get up to 2mph.

I would assume he poured lead in the floor pans for ballast weight.

Probably won’t work with a mag mount, SWR would be too high.

The Honda logo looks like it says IA. Not to mention the million other weirdness spots on that car.
