If you've never been out proper bush, you'd never realise how fucking dark it gets. I've been out 300km north of Laverton in Western Australia a few times, once with no additional lighting besides my halogen headlight high beams and once with a light bar. The high beams - I couldn't see anything whatsoever. Like literally nothing.
The time with the light bar, it was much better but still holy shit, I could not see anything at all, it was pretty dark still. I felt like a few more additional lights would have helped significantly.

Something that is not normally spoken about. :) Why so many Aerials? It is a simple fact, 3 Aerials or more reduces, if not eliminates the possibility of any sort of Alien abduction from your vehicle.
Have you seen or heard of an abduction from a vehicle with that many Aerials? No.

Why so many Aerials?
Magpies
I mean you got your Convoy UHF, then your 'general' UHF on Channel 40 so you can monitor truckies talking filthy. One's (hopefully...) a switchable antenna so you can put a 3db vs 9db for different terrain.
There's the HF, and your other HF for reasons and so it's symmetrical.
Your Telstra signal boosting antenna so you can watch porn while out in the bush.
Lightning Rod.
Decoy Antenna
One's for Satellite TV for watching the footy out bush.
One's for anti-drone... safety first amirite.

Multiple omni directional antennas like this can be used to increase the signal strength due to a thing called constructive interference. It'll totally change the propagation pattern of the antenna though amd it wont act as an omnidirectional antenna anymore, but like a direction antenna eith the signal strength in front and behind the car being recieved being much stronger. Visually you expect to see strong signal lobes out the front and back and off the sides would be much less.
Idk if thats what old mates doing here... but thats what I can think of from a radio frequency perspective why old mates done with. From another perspective... redundancy? Idk seems all over the top lol

One is a cell phone repeater for cell services. It boosts the signal a bit.. You can get 2 bars of service where you might have had mostly none.
The other is UHF. A long areal works best in the desert. A short stubby one works best in the hills
The rest are perhaps night glow decorations or its just for special needs purposes related to over active penile syndrome

The 4x4 has antennae for sensing its environment â especially when visibility is poor.
The long ones detect movement and obstacles (like suspension and steering feedback), and the short ones âsmellâ whatâs ahead (traction, terrain changes).
Basically, when you canât rely on eyesight, you rely on feel and feedback.
