====== Golf Cart Antenna ======

Clever mag-mount solution for a front-facing four-seat golf cart to support public service events.

I used the mount points for the golf bag holder on my Evolution Ranger D5 to create a mag-mount pizza pan shelf.

I don't have an exposed back seat to use with the new golf cart.  However, I do have mount points for a golf bag holder.  I busted out my pizza pan and fashioned this mount.  It has a clean look and worked great with my HT during testing.

Last year, I used an Ed Fong j-pole design to extend the reach of my HT to cover the course on my traditional 2+2 golf cart. It worked great—no ground plane was needed. Clamping a pizza pan to the back seat didn't seem "sexy" at the time.
