    I was wondering what mount did you use on the tripod. I haven’t seen that one before.

      Hi Terry,

      Well it’s a standard photo tripod. The Arrow Antennas all have a drilled/tapped hole for a tripod mount. It hides under the foam grip, so you have to remove it to find it. I usually point the antenna to a spot that will be about 1/3 of the way, and let the bird come to me. For Field Day, with one QSO allowed, that’s the easiest way. Hope to hear you on the birds! 73, Bob, WB4SON
