Hi Colin,
I was just thinking this evening there is no limit to what you can spend in 
this hobby.  I am thinking about getting a mag mount and putting it on my 
filing cabinet or frig.  I am not sure.  I am on the second flor and I have 
a balqueny well, it is more like a second flor  porch.  it is all wood.  is 
there a way to mount a antanna to a wooden rail?   I was all ways under the 
inpression it had to be mounted to some thing metal. What would be nice is 
if I could get an antanna that I could set up on the balqueny rail which is 
wood and then take it down when I am finished with out no problem. Maybe 
that is dreaming but all good things must first start with an idea.
well, take care and have a good day.
