HF mobile operation

[brad barton]

Marv,

I'm just a tech/meteorologist with a two-meter rig in the office and one at home, nothing mobile. You CW guys are the real hams.

Brad:

When I upgraded to Extra back in he 90's that is the call the FCC
issued to me. Since I am predominately a CW operator I was ecstatic
with with KG7V. It really flows off the key.

Talking about calls, one of my very best friends passed away last
month and he had one of the best call available. He was W4DX. There
will be a ton of applications when that one becomes available for
reissue.

Maybe I will run into you on the air sometime.

> Congratulations on upgrading to Extra Class.There are a lot of
mobile antennas being marketed today. I have had good luck with the
screw driver type antennas. They are available that will tune 80 thru
6 meters with really low swr. Of course, dummy loads have low swr.
You could mount one of the screwdriver antennas on the goat rail and
raise it after stopping.I have operated mobile over the years but I
don't think I would try it in while driving a bird. Driving while
hamming is distracting and I don't think I give adequate attention to
either. I don't want to be distracted while herding 16 tons down the
road.Just my two cents worth.Marv - KG7V2004 M380Ocean Shores, WA---
