[amsat-bb] best tripod for the arrow II handheld antenna

[jbr13 at md.metrocast.net]

I use a good camera tripod with the setup I made.  Since I also do 
photography it was on hand.  If you get a cheap camera tripod, I am sure 
you will have issues of some sort.  A good heavier tripod is great, it 
will keep from tipping over.  You can see my arrow antenna rig on tripod 
on my QRZ page.
