Maybe a cupholder mount or seat bracket mount? DX Engineering has quite a selection and Amazon came in up in my search also.

Re: Is it too hard to start out on HF with QRP?
I forgot to add that this is a great time to try QRP and POTA. The solar cycle is in your favor. With POTA, you can spot yourself on the websites and people will be searching you out!

Re: Is it too hard to start out on HF with QRP?
I started with QRP. I was a single parent, money was tight. I found a Heathkit HW-7 for 35 bucks and was on my way! It took 2 weeks calling CQ before I made my first contact. It was more me trying to figure out the radio than anything else. Turned out the first contact was only 2 blocks away! If you...

Re: Amazing what 3 watts can do.
Since you're running from your car, maybe try an antenna mount right on the car. It will beat any ground plane you can lay out under the tripod by a lot!

Re: Unconventional Power Sources for Ham Radio Operations.
I tried using solar and bicycle power for a while. I found unless you're going to be out doing lots of radio for few days, it wasn't worth it. It's a lot easier to use low power and carry an extra set of "AA" batteries. And I don't carry them if I'm out for only 1 or 2 days.

Re: Ground antenna for TX ?
I remember one time being set up so my EFHW antenna was behind me. I had made 4 or 5 contacts before I noticed it was on the ground! Never tried intentionally though.

Re: Show me/recommend a straight key for portable use
housekey.jpg Here's one I built with my grandson. He looked at my straight key one day, and said, "Why do they call it a key? It don't look like a key to me". So we took one of his play keys, a plastic box he got with candy in it, a couple of small bolts and built this. We were gonna add ...
