Title: new mobile unit, maybe..
Post by: Opcom on August 18, 2009, 01:49:29 AM
My current mobile emcomm rig is on the right. It's seen many a hurricane, fest, Independence Day parade, and field day.

This fall, I plan to build one like on the left but nicer looking.. and with legal limit AM..  Images to scale.

Neato - I participated in exercises in one just like it, in the Australian Army Reserves.

Such a machine would be real handy for operating during our bushfire season.

Lots of volunteer fire departments use them, many put on a big water tank, 2500 gal. I think.
