Mobile HF

So after looking at my install and messing around with the radio and antenna 2 things were very apparent. I needed a remote speaker and a real SWR meter. HRO had a MFJ-281 speaker and a LDG FT-Meter both fit the bill perfectly now I can hear my contacts and see my SWR. Guess I will see how the rest of the weeks commutes work out.  On Monday morning in rush hour traffic I had a nice 10 meter QSO with a Georgia station and  on the way home I got a solid 5/5 5/7 from ZL2WL a New Zealand station on 28.525. To me quality not quantity is cool.  OK so its off to make some new Mobile HF contacts and see what I can scare up.

Peace
