    Diesel

    I got to run around in one of those (milsurp) trucks with a SAR group. Other than putting in a switch to manually run the plugs, that truck ran like a champ. Started well (when started on a daily basis), didn't overheat in 115 degree weather, made good power, 0-60 in fifteen minutes...........

    Yes. Those that either love or hate that engine. I don't think I've ever met someone in between.

    HRO doesn't do installations. What kind of gear are you trying to install into what rig?

    Summits On The Air

    I check the map for the area in your signature. Lots of summits in the system there.

    I think the act of field operating goes hand in hand with the Overland mentality.

    Diamond and Comet seem to be the most popular for mobile, though due to size limits, you're going to be generally limited to 10m for a hard mounted antenna. What kind of ability do you want in your rig?

    Modern CB is still analog on the 11 meter band. Same freq's/channels. You may have some collectors items on your hands.

    I wouldn't knock the rig for SOTA. I just wouldn't run it at 100% output. A lot of folks run QRP in order to not hump lots of power supply gear. IIRC, no generators allowed in SOTA, including vehicle alternators. Wind, solar, and battery only. I think. A lot of folks run very small QRP...

    Summits On The Air Summarily, people go to geologically recognized summits and "activate" them. You post your activation dates, modes, and freq's on SOTAWatch for an approved peak/summit/mountain top. You can find those at SOTAMaps. Chasers like to collect summits. People that like to get...

    I tried re inserting the image address' and came out with the same HTML icon everyone else is seeing. Unless someone is a member where those pics are posted, they'll probably be unable to be viewed.
