[TenTec] 100 w. mobile rig

[Rob Atkinson, K5UJ]

It seems to me that if a serious mobile HF operation is to be undertaken, 
you would either want a minimum of around 200 watts which the new Kenwood 
provides, or a lower exciter type level to drive a solid state linear amp to 
around 400 watts.  With band noise, bad conditions, and the difficulty of 
having anything near a decent antenna on a motor vehicle, you have to run 
some power to give yourselves a chance, or, operate 6 and 10, and wait for a 
really good band opening.
I'd vote for a ten tec 50 watt rig and a ten tec 400 watt amp.  Then you 
have all the possibilities available.
