Look at this thing.  I thought it was a right cool idea.

Thank you for that Nemo, they have some interesting products.  I had never heard of the company before.  I like their hitch mounts, and the prices are reasonable.

The drive on mount name was cool but I think my name creation is cooler.

I've seen that done before. $150????? I don't think so. I prefer the old reliable trailer hitch mount. You push it into the hitch receiver and insert the pin and if you need to move your vehicle, you just move it.

To your point pkveazey, using your method produces a good ground plane to doesn't it.

Here's my solution:

based on 2" hitch mount....this slides in, locks in place and allows me to pivot it..i set it horizontal to install milmast pieces, connect antennas, j pole, yagi and hf di pole, feedline, walk it up to vertical, pin in place and guy it if need be based on height....

i can use the back on my suv, of the side mount on utility trailer...

this is a total one man operation....easy peasy...

I like that set-up RF.  I like to keep it simple.
