You know the ones--the black and white units with a really large fellow wearing an impressive hat. To complete the picture, when he pulled up behind me I did have my arm out the window holding my home-brew 3-element 70 cm beam and pointing it where I could best hear the downlink. And he said, \"What you in for, son?\" Just kidding--and sorry for mixing metaphors. What he actually said was, \"Can I ask what you are doing?\" When I explained, in as non-technical terms as I could, he asked me to, \"explain that again.\" I did. My wife was quite amused. He walked around my truck, noted the call sign on the plates (in Texas it actually says \"radio operator\" in small print on the plates), and I explained the antenna on the back window was for transmit and the hand-held one was for receive. He looked perplexed, but then smiled and told me he had a call from someone saying I was waving a gun around out my window. My wife actually chuckled at this point. He asked me to pull further off the road and went on back to his cruiser/interceptor and drove off. My wife continued with quips like, \"I can't wait to tell people about this.\"\n\nI never did make any contacts on that pass (I've only had this radio 10 years, but I swear I still get confused on the menu choices), but managed 13 solid contacts today (AO-51 2201z) from the same spot on the South side of I-45 as I returned home from Dallas, including HK3Z, Aki, and CO6CBF, Hector. I was hoping to work some VEs to impress my wife, but I think they were all on royals watch for the weekend.\n\n73,\nJerry, K5OE\n\n\n\n", "attachments": [] }
