Ice fishing anchors would also do well as I have drilled into some strong frozen ground with them. Using a portable drill with the ice anchor adapter will of course make it easier.
Absolutely, but this is two fold. I have a lot of professional experience with super clamps and magic arms. Secondly, this was what was on hand and easy to adapt to M10.
Yes, a magmount is a very good option when operating mobile. My plan was actually not to operate mobile, but my original park was filled up with something the non-hams calls a “Christmas market”. And since I didn’t bring anything to sit on I ended up in the car.
It seems a bit big and slightly heavy that mount. So I guess is for drive-in's mostly. But then one of those mounts you put under one of the car wheels seems much more efficient. No buttons to turn when the frost is biting. No parts that will get frozen solid if there is both snow / sleet and cold :-)
It is about a kilo. I have had heavier stuff in my backpack. I also have a drive on mount, which is nice, but that is for fiberglass or carbon fiber masts and wire antennas. It's all about adapting to the situation.
Great idea, Morten. It works great for any location, too. 👍
Not every location as I discussed. This was actually my third park trying to find something that would work.
Nice! I have been using a spike antenna since last winter and was wandering how to solve this! Thank you!
You're welcome!

I'll have to get one of these.
You absolutely do buddy!
I use one of the super clamps from my GoPro git stuff. Pretty close to the same. Thanks for the video Morton! 73
I am also going to try just using the clamp, but the arm gives a couple of extra mounting options.
Duuuude I wish we had this WX here... 💯😍👍
It's gonna get warm and wet tomorrow.
"Spain is in Europe" 🤣
It's not my first rodeo :)
Since you were operating from the car, would a magnetic mount on the car roof been another option? The magic arm was very interesting!
