    A big thanks to Mark for joining me on the ride, otherwise may have not gone solo.  So may variables that came together. Very lucky indeed to have it back (I guess I'm not "nameless" any longer).  Perseverance paid off.   Also found a "Metric" adjustable wrench. We had a tailwind equal to our slow riding speed and our bikes were getting hot (fan running) from no air flow through the radiators.  Hence the one big backtrack into the wind to cool them off.

    Per this youtube, "You can boost the performance of most any hand held type VHF/UHF radio or hand held scanner radio by adding a counterpoise. This makes up the missing half of the dipole antenna for the radio, giving you a full half wave antenna system." Bags tried a ground to the bike without much success but maybe he was on to this in some fashion. Maybe this Tigertail will help. (I tried to just copy the youtube link, but the whole thing showed up and could not delete - so here it is - if its worth anything... Bp619??  Any other reports on better antennas for the UV/RH?
