I personally use power poles on everything ham related, that way I can swap 
things out to the car, house, EOC I volunteer at, club stations for clubs 
I'm a member of or sometimes setup for special events with, most friend's 
stations, if we ever need to swap things around, I stick with them, they're 
pretty standard. I've even used them for an accessory or 2 in the car over 
the years.
