@vk2gpu @xssfox I'm guessing you're referring to using the frame as a counterpoise? I've seen some bike HF rigs and they often just drag the counterpoise behind them.

@vk2gpu @xssfox I've heard of people doing that, but every rig I've seen abandoned the practice of using the frame as part of the setup. I get why. It's not that much metal and bent up in a complex shape, plus you have to scrape off paint to connect to it, opening you up to rust issues in the frame.

@roadriverrail @xssfox Oh no, I meant let the G90 tune it up! Yeah prob with that trailing radial :) Maybe gamma match on the frame, G90 tuner soak up the rest?

@vk2gpu @xssfox I hadn't considered that possibility! And clearly nobody I've talked to had either. No idea if that would work, but 50 points for thinking outside the box.

@roadriverrail @xssfox Could always couple it inductively?
