[Elecraft] K2 Aeronautical mobile

[k6iii@juno.com]

Speaking of LOOP antennas.... the navy used to fly a C-130 a/c with a
really long (couple of miles?) wire with a cone at the end to keep the
end stable. The idea was to fly in a circle until you find the trailing
cone in front of your nose.... that thats a big loop! No QSB that way!

I bought my K2 with an eye toward operating while flying my sailplane. 
<<<snip>>>
The other challenge with glider mobile would be the antenna. I'd have the
most attention to devote to operating when established in a thermal.  If
the
antenna weren't reasonably omnidirectional (while in a 45 dg bank) then
some
serious qsb could be introduced.
