Mobile DX expiditions

I have homemade a car roof mounting system, that consist of a swingable tube that is 50mm thick.
this tube is 2meter long, inside this tube is a 4 meter 38mm tube mounted.
When I'm at my DX location, the two iron tubes goes out in full length, about 5meters.
At the top a full size quarterwave antenna for the 40meter band is mounted !, this antenne is almost 10meters long !!
The car roof is about 1.4 meter height, so the top of the antenns is about 16.4 meters !!
The antenna has also four full size radials (10meter long) they also work as barduns to hold and support the antenna,
they are mounted directly in the ground with 4 metal sticks

7.055 LSB was the frequency !! Thanks alot to all the stations that we had contact with !

Here is OZ7AKT, having contacts on 10 and 20 meters, bad luck that the car anti theft system, was going nuts when transmitting on 20m, but we had some contacts with USA on 1-2 watts on 20m.

The antenna late night, the arrow is showing the top ! The car is 4.44 meters long.
