Social Hangout: Let's Talk Ham Radio Gear & Travel Part2

We’re back! After a short hiatus, Frank (KG5AHJ) and co-host Paul dive into all things traveling and mobile operating with amateur radio. Fresh off a road trip from Corpus Christi—touring the radio spaces on the USS Lexington and playing radio out near Mustang Island—we break down the reality of staying connected on the highway. Why is 146.520 simplex so quiet between cities? What are the best mobile solutions—from Allstar nodes and Meshtastic setups to digital modes like DMR, D-STAR, and newer tools like QSO1? Plus, the crew jumps in to talk vehicle installs, dash mounts (Bulletpoint, 67 Designs, Tacform), vehicle grounding, and plans for the next mobile rig setup!
