    Mobile HF questions

    For HF mobile,I’ve used a Hustler whip setup with resonators for each band 10-80. I have the spring and quick disconnect as well. The mount currently use plugs into the hitch receiver. You can see a couple of the resonators just in front of the drawers...

    Comms on the road?

    Somewhere I have a Larsen base coil for an NMO mount. I swap antennas often on one mount for HF or whatever.

    Comms on the road?

    I keep thinking about one of the transverters from eBay to get on 6m. I’ve been a ham for 33 years and still hav been on that band.

    Buying an Old Used Rig... Wait- Isn't it Old and Used?

    Absolutely right. I grew up in a shop, but doing the work on thecopcar has given me a metric crap ton, copyright btw, of knowledge about my rig and what likely failure points may be.

    Comms on the road?

    For the benefit of those wondering, the 220 ham band has limited equipment available due to the attempted spectrum grab by UPS around 1990. The 2m band is probably most useful, followed by 70cm.

    Why are onX three different apps instead of one app like Gaia?

    Chevrolet did the world wrong!

    Chevrolet didn’t do AFM just to rake buyers through the Wringer. They could have done a little bitty engine with a hair dryer, but we all love big honking V8s. The point is all manufacturers have to deal with the insane creeping endless demands made by the EPA. As for me, thecopcar has a...
