[Elecraft] Ham radio as a side dish

[Chris Hallinan]

I have recently discovered the thrill of "aeronautical mobile" on 2m FM
using a handheld.  Line of sight has an entirely different meaning at 8000
feet in unobstructed air!

I would dearly love to figure out how to operate HF (20 meters) while
flying a small general aviation single-engine aircraft.   Haven't figure
out a workable antenna solution that doesn't require airframe modification,
etc.  I thought about a Zepp like the old days, but at 180+ mph that is
probably not workable.
