Last night I tried to make contact with Indianapolis Motor Speedway (W9IMS) as they were having a special event due to the race this weekend. I also listened to someone out of Hawaii (also 20m). One thing that is becoming apparent to me is that a barefoot KX3 has a hard time against the big guns out there. 😉 But, it makes the win that much more delicious.
Other than that I am starting a plan on a mobile set-up for my vehicle (new to me, used Toyota UZJ100 ’05). Looking for a good radio with x-band capability. Not too interested in APRS but I’m also not ignoring it completely. Mobile presents some interesting challenges as everything appears to be a compromise.
