[QUOTE="n2ppn, post: 77062, member: 2016"] I guess an old dinosaur Ham operator like me still can prove useful??? When I did my 9 foot whip on my bicycle as a kid, no one would believe me that I was on my Raleigh 10 speed... I had an old Lafayette DynaCom 12a hooked up to it, and I rode it all over chatting to my "good buddies"...... after that whenever I would do a CB "mobile" install, I used 9 foot whips... my Fiat 128 looked kinda funny with a 9 foot whip on it, but if I could "hear" you, I could get back to you... Later on as I got my Ham license (N2PPN) I played with lots of different antennas for all sorts of applications.... now I have my 1981 GL1100 all set up with a dual band rig and a nice Bluetooth wireless headset for me to chat to fellow hams as I scoot around.... still get many comments from fellow hams that they can't believe I am "motorcycle mobile" due to both signal quality and no road noise (still use a open face helmet) so I guess the proof is in the pudding??? Now I'm toying around with putting an APRS unit(GPS position reporting transmitter) on the bike so my Ham buddies can "see" where I am.... hope the wife doesn't find out about THAT feature!!! LOL...
