Hi;
That is kind of plan b but I have a new never used diamond x50 and area club members have offered help so I'm kind of on hold.  I suspect that I will be lucky to get warm bodies here once and they will probably do what they can in that trip.  If I'm seriously unhappy come July you will know that the promises never went beyond the talking stage.
Wish me luck.
Richard

  Hi Richard.

  Don't know if you have any attic space or some other out of the way place 
  up high, but what I did with my TM-G707A was to put a half wave dual band 
  mag mount antenna in the attic on an old pizza pan.  It is ground 
  independent and it works quite well up there.
