FB, Bill - those are beautiful! Thanks for the link... (and I bet if you opened an online store for completed dipoles, you'd sell quite a few).

I love mobile dipoles... I used to use a pair of Outbackers on my bicycle, rigged with a folding assembly that let them tuck around the mast when not in use. Nothing like avoiding the losses of a tuner... and it would operate either vertically or horizontally. I generally used the former mode, though occasionally the slight directivity of the horizontal lobes would be useful (less often than I would have thought, though).
