[Elecraft] Could this operate on a motorcycle?

[Bruce Beford]

>From what I have read thus far, VHF is still the best bet for this
application. I have not yet heard how far these riders are spread out. If a
5W HT doesn't cut it, then perhaps adding a 30-50W amp would be more
appropriate than going HF. Also, look at the antennas in use on the bikes,
and their placement and adjustment. That means everyone on the ride needs to
understand how to properly install and operate the equipment, and it's
limitations. The bike with the lowest gain antenna/lowest power  would seem
to dictate the effectiveness of what it sounds like you are trying to do.

I still don't think outfitting 'x' number of bikes with HF is the answer.
But, I've been wrong before. It's an interesting problem.

good luck,
