My wife and 2 little ones are considering traveling from MD to TX by
train. Has anyone ever operated HF from a moving Amtrak train? I rode
them all over the US when I was a teen. Probably wouldn't be able to put
anything outside the train due to tunnels and other train-related things
that may go zooming by. Actually, perhaps at the end of the train. IIRC,
there is sometimes a little perch on the end of the last car. A 10-meter
mag mount could possibly be set up there. I guess I could always bring my
MFJ Magnetic Loop and set that up instead. That could actually go in the
family compartment. Dang, this seems like a daunting task! Best I can
come up with so far is the mag mount or mag loop at the back of the
train. Anyone else?
