    2 meter radio in humv

    Do you have an antenna analyzer, mfj-259 or similar? That would help. Not sure if the firestik has a means to trim it to resonance. That military mount might not be the right one. You need a good ground plane for that antenna. Is there much 2 meter activity in Wyoming?

    Installing a ham radio

    Use a down converter not just power off from one battery. What kind of radio are you planning on installing, a mobile or an HT? You probably don't need a 40 amp downconverter unless you plan on adding other 12 volt loads. A 20 amp converter would work fine. I am using a 13.8 volt, 20 amp...

    This is not an illusion. This is for real. I counted them. All in storage during a slow spell in W. Colton receiving yard. Probably all gone into service by now. Pic was taken in 2009. The locos were stored in the yard so there wouldn't be any scavenging or the copper wiring, etc.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I had a look at my heater core. It looked good. I added some cushioning on the bottom to keep it from banging around inside the heater box. It should last a good while. Now I have to get those 2 bolts that mount the diagonal bracket to the firewall to thread into something. I know they were...
