[Elecraft] Going Mobile?

[Carl Yaffey1]

A memory:
1955 I was at the Virginia Phone Net picnic at a farm. A guy pulls up in a Plymouth coupe with a huge plastic box on the roof with large coils and capacitors showing. Sticking out of it was a long vertical antenna.
He stepped out. He had a microphone harness on which had probably been from the Navy. He pushed a button on it and a huge whine erupted from the trunk. He then pointed a piece of wood near the vertical and drew a tremendous arc to it.
He opened the trunk and we saw several large dynamotors and many batteries. Yes, he had a 75M kilowatt AM rig. Pretty amazing.
