 Mobile or fixed antennas for HF?
 I'm gearing up to go HF mobile on 80 and 160 later this summer when I get an
HF rig for the truck.
 The antennas are a Hustler RM-80-S on 80m,around 3.750 - 3.805 and a HUGE 
160m coil for 1.840 - 1.875.
 IF I can wangle the deal I'm going to be using an old Atlas HF mobile a 
friend of mine is getting rid of that covers 160-20m.

 Seems to be similiar to an `angel-wings' antenna Wayne discussed before.
 One co-ax and multiple tuned dipoles from the same feed-point.
 Myself I have B&W trapped dipole for 160m thru 20m that works out perfectly
flat at 1.855 and 3.700. 40 and 20 I'm not worried about at the moment 'til I 
get the 12wpm cw.
