[VHFcontesting] Sigh

[Joe Serocki]

.         Radio died

.         Antenna broke

.         Rotor quit

 

And we call this fun?

 

This moving stuff in and out of a vehicle is just too tedious. I quote
Sergeant Hulka "I'm getting to old for this s!!t".

 

Most of this was caused by the lack of a permanent station, or at least by
moving stuff in and out and in and out. I am honestly thinking of rebuilding
my older van just for this purpose. I was going to scrap it, but I am a
sucker for punishment.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on the conversion of a full size Ford van?
Pictures would be really helpful. If the van comes together I need to get
the station alive by September for the next contest attempt, if not sooner
for maybe July. I have some ideas in my head, but am looking for more before
I start cutting away.

Red Green: Quando omni flunkus moritati - when all else fails, play dead.

Riley Hollingsworth: If you don't like it spin the dial!

Serocki: It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission, but you better
have whatever it is fixed first!
