Subject:Re: Amateur radio antenna mount for Vanagon dual band/tri-band

The antenna is a Comet B-10, a very nice foot tall uhf/vhf that gets me in
my garage. Good enough for local repeaters. I carry a half wave 2 meter
whip for trips and camping. There's no branding on the clamp. Picked up at
a ham fest.  Pics on request.
