That's some awesome clean and professional looking work!

 

Thanks, it is a fun project.

Here is my winter antenna configuration. Issues include:

- Everything gets iced up, covered with snow, and has a coating of road salt.
- When it is -25 degrees F, it is very desirable to park in the garage and antenna system creates clearance issues.
- I avoid going into the cities (like the country better) as much as possible, but when I do the parking ramps has very low clearance.

 

Wow, that's really something! I'd love to see more pics as this evolves.

 

Nice project!

 

I have a CB...

Looks really clean. Sub'd just because I'm impressed.

 

I don't know what 90% of that stuff is, but damn that's impressive looking.

 

Glad I'm not the only one. Haha

 

Hi Folks

Here is a link about ALE (Automatic Link Establishment):

Working on the technical problems are fun.

 

That looks very cool! I'd love have a setup like that in my Jeep... wouldn't know what to do with it but I could tell folks I got a ARES / MARS / other acronyms setup which would just be extra awesome lol

Is this something you have setup for work? Or more so personal use if there was (example) a natural disaster in your area.
