I would suggest checking and listen for RFI getting into the radio - when installed and attached to the antenna with the engine "on":
- Run up rpms, 
- turn on signals/ flashers
- hit the brake pedal several times in a row .
- turn headlights "on".

You may need to add a bunch of ground straps to various parts if the vehicle's parts and body to reduce/minimize/eliminate the noise.

Steve,

The 102 inch whip will work well on 10 and 12 meters, but I doubt you'll hear many folks there. I have tried that arrangement and found that a loaded whip works much better on the lower frequency bands which will be where you want to operate. I found that both hamstick types, and hustler whips worked quite well. The tuner will allow covering a whole band, which the whips won't do themselves. You can even work a band lower than the whip is designed for (30 m with 20 m whip, for example), it doesn't work quite as well - but easier than changing antennas while driving at 75! 

I preferred the hustler, only because they broke down into parts that fit in my trunk.

I found CW was much more successful than SSB, but have been known to break pileups on 20 SSB from time-to-time, and had many memorable contacts including a VK on 20 SSB as I left the house one morning. We were both 59+ and he was the only signal I heard on the band.

Or perhaps dodge the Real CW and use a laptop with an appropriate program to 
do the keying?

I agree whole heartedly that a laptop should only be used if not in motion.
It has to be worse than texting while driving! Tuning the radio is bad enuf
-- the best was with the control head on the dashboard so you had a chance
of seeing the exhaust pipes in front before you hit them.

I used Vibroplex paddles that dropped right into the space above a pair of
cup holders in my console. The feet stayed put within the holders and it
worked perfectly. I did it with manual transmission cars and found that it
was easier to move my hand from the paddles to the shift lever than to put
down a mic to do it.

The breakthrough for me came after a while of listening to CW while I drove
and realizing that I could copy very well without a pen and paper, even
though I'd always done that at home. So you can start out on SSB and then
listen to CW while there are no SSB contacts. I started out chasing DX
(worked all but one continents from the car during my ARRL commuting days),
but ended up ragchewing on 40, which seemed the most reliable during the
morning commute.  

I will confess that I did write down call signs, but not in real time. While
I could copy them fine, remembering them after 10 min was another matter
(what was your name again? <g>) -- perhaps a byproduct of my advanced years!

Good afternoon. I have operated HF (listening mostly) from various vehicles while in route to the Dayton Hamvention, Nashville and other closer in destinations. The rigs were a 706mk2 auto tuner hamstick and Yaesu 857d with the complementary ATAS auto tuned whip system. In all cases, only a few SSB contacts made. In future, i?ll use my tablet PC and Verizon cell connection dongle device to remote into  my home station.

I have tried that arrangement and found that a loaded whip works much better on the lower frequency bands which will be where you want to operate. I found that both hamstick types, and hustler whips worked quite well. The tuner will allow covering a whole band, which the whips won't do themselves. You can even work a band lower than the whip is designed for (30 m with 20 m whip, for example), it doesn't work quite as well - but easier than changing antennas while driving at 75!

Think about it: Mobile CW may be the solution to text and drive....!

Paul and I used to do HF mobile all the time years ago.  I remember one time
up in Canada barely hearing Barb on CW; just broke the receiver but I could
copy.  We had lots of fun on HF mobile.

I agree whole heartedly that a laptop should only be used if not in motion.
It has to be worse than texting while driving! Tuning the radio is bad enuf
-- the best was with the control head on the dashboard so you had a chance
of seeing the exhaust pipes in front before you hit them.

I used Vibroplex paddles that dropped right into the space above a pair of
cup holders in my console. The feet stayed put within the holders and it
worked perfectly. I did it with manual transmission cars and found that it
was easier to move my hand from the paddles to the shift lever than to put
down a mic to do it.

The breakthrough for me came after a while of listening to CW while I drove
and realizing that I could copy very well without a pen and paper, even
though I'd always done that at home. So you can start out on SSB and then
listen to CW while there are no SSB contacts. I started out chasing DX
(worked all but one continents from the car during my ARRL commuting days),
but ended up ragchewing on 40, which seemed the most reliable during the
morning commute.  

I will confess that I did write down call signs, but not in real time. While
I could copy them fine, remembering them after 10 min was another matter
(what was your name again? <g>) -- perhaps a byproduct of my advanced years!

Is there such a program that will do the keying with a laptop?

Or perhaps dodge the Real CW and use a laptop with an appropriate program to do the keying?

Subject: [CTSARA] Hams Needed for Bloomin Metric May 20 - 2nd Request
Message-ID: <CAFdYx3WoiMWsGE4saoLHg_9nvv8cmutm4qnhsuTsrdRKcmPUsw@mail.gmail.com>

We still need a few hams for the ham coverage of the Bloomin Metric on
Sunday May 20.

The Bloomin Metric is the premier public service event in southern
Fairfield County.  It is a bicycle ride (not race) put on by the Sound
Cyclists Bicycle Club every May with proceeds going to a number of local
charities.  There are typically about 2600 riders (including "ride
marshals").  The ride offers a number of routes, all departing from
Sherwood Island State Park, and some going as far north as the
Redding/Newtown border.

Hams provide radio communications for a small fleet of support vehicles, as
well as radio communications to the rest stops.  We have a ham in every
support vehicle maintaining radio contact back to Sherwood Island.  We
direct the operations of the support vehicles to keep the routes under
patrol, and handle the communications with riders if they call in to the
event's help line because they need assistance (typically mechanical
breakdowns).  We have been providing communications for this event for
close to 30 years and have an excellent working relationship with the event
organizers.

We need ham volunteers for the event.  Figure it as a most-of-the-day
event.  We generally meet at Sherwood Island at about 7am.  While most
people are done by about 1pm, some people wind up staying until about 3pm
to take care of the last of stragglers.  We need 18-20 hams.  If you can't
do 7am - 1pm, but can do part of the time, we can probably use you.

You do not need to be an experienced ham or experienced in this kind of
work to participate.  We will train you on whatever you need to know.  It
helps if you have a 25 or 50 watt mobile radio and a magnetic mount
antenna, but if you don't have one we will provide one.

Please contact me at jon.perelstein at gmail.com if you're interested.
