It was kinda "meh" for me. Why do 5 watts when you can do 50? I tried it, but the main problem is that I had to use an MFJ antenna mount clip and a rubber duck. It just wasn't worth the inconvenience and inefficiency. Consider using my antenna setup with your HT. The feedline is 13' of RG316 with an SMA.
Great idea. Right under General Discussions.
No kidding! The OP's premise that EV are going to be the only option sooner than later is a bit faulty, but when someone really wants something you can create all sorts of rationalizations.
Link any existing threads here, and we can try to merge them.
I'm not aware of any thread apart from this one. The earlier thread (precursor to this one) that I started in late-Feb has become OBE so it can just sit there untouched. If you can setup the ham radio category that'd be great.
Suggested title pending other opinions. “ Ham Radio Installations”. (The storm chaser aspect isn’t needed in the title.)
BORSKI: Suggest we call it LUCID HAMS, since some folks might be hams but have not installed equipment in their cars.
I really don't care what we call it. Just be advised not to expect any substantive ham radio discussions that are not related to installing ham radio equipment in Lucid vehicles. There are beaucoup other forums out there that are ham radio specific, and that's where one would find ham radio discussions. That's why I had proposed “Ham Radio Installations” as the title. If we just call it "Lucid Hams", then we should also have categories for "Lucid Boaters", Lucid Hang Gliders", "Lucid Line Dancers"........
