Spotlight	N3WDZ's homebrew mobile mount

The 1999 Chevy Astro has few places to neatly mount radios, so I constructed this tower out of plywood to house up to 3 rigs. The tower is bolted to an aluminum plate that is bolted between the two front seats. The rigs bolt to wooden slats which slide in on grooves routed in the tower. Makes it easy to take the radios in and out when needed. Rigs are Yaesu FT-7800 2m/440 on top and Yaesu FT-857 HF on bottom. The '7800 stays in all the time, and the '857 is there on long trips. Next thing to do is install a DC power panel wired to the battery to replace the cig adapter temporary setup. 73 de Russ N3WDZ
