Pickup truck Hf radio

 

Mag mount works well in bed of pickup truck on 20 meter hamstick.

Dumpster radio

 

Mag mount 20 meter hamstick and ham radio on a 3 yard dumpster.

Added GMRS mobile

 Bought a Anytone 779 GMRS 20 watts but really is only 15/13.5 watts depending the YouTube you watch. However in the paperwork it does say the US version is 18 watts so I am OK with that.

I did a quick field test from my V 1 HT to the mobile just to see if I can reach the local hospital just over four miles away.  I did so I am happy with the radio.  I need a newer computer to update the radio so I can change menu items 1-16, but it is usable now🤓

Power

 Above you see a Orange flashlight opened showing four aaa batteries in a sleeve so they will work in a light that calls for a C cell battery.  You also see red aaa sleeve’s for C batteries and white sleeve’s for a D battery replacement.  

Below I have a 14 watt solar charging a 4 aa/aaa charger to charge my ht radio battery and for batteries to make more sleeve’s.

Devels Tower

Devels Tower at the end of June 21.  Traffic was backed up to the highway so we skipped it on this afternoon drive.  We have visited it several times over the years.

Still a wonderful place to visit “off season “ when there is no huge crowds.
