[Hallicrafters] Aeronautical Mobile

[Roger K8RI]

Let's see...
I could take out the back seat and mount the HT32B and SX101A back there. 
Not sure about the HT-33B.  If I put that back there, then I'm going to have 
to find one big fat guy to ride up front to keep the weight and balance 
where it belongs. OTOH that means I need a really small, skinny operator to 
run the rig in back.  Sill, I'm going to have to do something about the 
alternator and battery.  Ever see the size of a battery in an airplane? 
They are about the size of the ones in a motorcycle. It does have a big 
alternator.  Of course I thin need to find a really good inverter for the 
110 VAC.

>From Michigan it's about 5 to 6 hours (at 14 GPH at $3.50 a gallon) to 
international airspace so I could truly operate "aeronautical" mobile. 
That's $294 for gas, each way.  Maybe I'll stick to carrying the 2-meter HT 
along on trips. <:-))
