K6ON here, Old time ham, or is that Old ham...Both I guess. My preference is HF, 17meters being my favorite.
Still play off road with a Dodge 4X4 pickup and FWC camper on board. I run a KW on HF from the truck!!

Latest Addition
Finally got around adding solar to the camper. Added a 100 watt panel and a 15 amp MPPT charge controller. On a rare bright sunny day recently, I saw almost 6 amps from the controller. Seems to average about 4.8 ~5.0 amps in the winter sun. I'll be interested in how it does...

a stud finder to locate the aluminum frame. Then drilled the can mount to match the frame. I used 5/16 bolts through the frame and backed with a...
I know about the heater thing, after I froze my parts off in Death valley, I had the boys over at ATC install a factory heater. Hot H2O is easy with the microwave.....wait...maybe it's me that's gone soft :)
