Everything You Forgot to Ask About HF Mobileering

Out Of Print

If you have never operated HF Mobile, there is a whole new world waiting for you. Many are hindered by the misconception that it is only necessary to stop by the store, buy a rig, plug it in and start operating. Nothing is further from the truth!

Note from the author:

Rather than going through all the pain and frustration of trying to reinvent the wheel, there is a good chance this manual will help you short-circuit a lot of sneaky problems. Or, something you read may strike the flint to develop and entirely new mousetrap.

Much feedback has been received from Radio Amateurs worldwide since "40+5 Years of HF Mobileering" went to press in early 1993. Lots of excellent ideas and suggestions were obtained. When 40+5 was out of stock, it was suggested to redo the manuscript to update and include all the latest material. Much of the '50s and '60s HF Mobileering history and nostalgia has been omitted.

Keep in mind that this is a compendium, so don't worry about discontinuity and repetitions where bits of information seem to overlap.

We had a longtime Ham friend who was publisher of an international scuba diving monthly magazine. The instant he saw one of my first editions, he was all over me for not letting him do the editing. It was explained that as an old Minnesota Herring Choker, I wrote exactly as I talk and no amount of editing could rectify that. Now if I could only wave my arms while writing we'd have it made.

No claim is made that everything you read in this manual is etched in stone but try to roll with it anyway. Have arrived at the age where sometimes I might even listen to reason! Our longtime personal friend, Russ Farnsworth, (of the famous Farnsworth Code Method), would often remind us fellow Hams with these words of wisdom:   "Many people like to display knowledge without understanding." and another one  "It is ease to limit your knowledge to what someone has written or said."

Thanks are expressed to scores of contributors, many who are not identified by calls.
