Lets take a look at a simple amateur radio antenna mount for people in condos, appartments and outdoors. The Chameleon Universal Clamp Mount is a weather resistant semi-permanent antenna mount that accepts all 3/8th-24 stud connections. This makes it great for ham sticks, loaded verticals and of course the Chameleaon antenna systems.
You can find the Chameleon Universal Clamp Mount here: https://chameleonantenna.com/shop-here/ols/products/cha-ucm
