[VHFcontesting] VE3CRU/scooter mobile

[Bill Burgess]

Greetings all,

A few more tidbits about Hans perhaps before you met him.

Hans got a German NSU motor scooter for transportation to university, and decided it would be a hoot to go mobile with it.  So he put a small tube rig on it and behind him strapped to the spare tire rim was my Master Mobile Slim Jim all band base loaded whip, a 19" coil with an 8 foot whip above and called CQ using the above subject line.  Did that antenna ever whip around too!

After graduation he bought a Ford Mustang and put a Heathkit 1KW linear under the hood ( the poor battery).  He sure had fun.

73,

Bill
