HRN 300! On the Road: Orlando 2017 Part THREE (Impromptu Show)


Listen Later

In the parking lot of my hotel in Orlando, I ran into Phil Mc Elrath K5BBC. Phil had 5 antennas on his roof (same as me), but not as many scattered around the rest of his vehicle. So I was winning the mobile contest until he showed me his super-clean installation. Put me to shame. 

Phil is also involved with the Emcomm-1 vehicle, a privately owned truck equipped (mostly with ICOM stuff) to be an Interop bridge - connecting any RF to any other RF, in the field, where it's needed. It's based in Florida. We talk about it some and I got some B-Roll video, but we'll go in depth later on Skype. Dave Goldenberg W0DHG will want to get his hooks into that episode, I'm sure.

So there's a lot to see, but most is pretty well described in our dialog. I'll give it a Radio Rating of B, but note that it's pretty short for a HamRadioNow episode. You just might have time to watch the video!
