Don't consider this an "entry" and it IS NOT to become the property of
k2bj.com but you might be interested in a real mobile rig, circa 1958.

http://www.qsl.net/n7ws/w7uvr.jpg

This was the qsl set from my "Elmer", Lee, W7UVR, SK.

4-1000A/parallel-pp 813 1KW high-level plate modulated AM in motion.
Later SSB equipment added.

5KW generator. Later upgraded to 15KW

Remotely tuned whip antennas with motorized vacuum caps and coils.

30' pneumatic mast with folded two-element beam (later upgraded to
3-el) for stationary operation.

Those are some manly loading coils...Would hate to see the price of
those in todays $$$$...I've seen that mobile somewhere before...Maybe
in an old QST or something...But somewhere I think I have an article
about that car. Was he into civil defense or something like that?
Seems to ring a vaque bell...Seems like in the article, the car was
mainly set up for emergency CD use...MK
