X-No-Archive: Yes
I am thinking of investing on a van/camper van for personal and business reasons. I would also one day use my van as my home, at least a few days a week, one of the reasons being that I am not allowed to erect antennas at my current location.
Is it realistic to operate low-power CW from a mobile location? My target bands would be 40, 30 and 20 metres. I don't expect top performance, but half decent QSO's. Do these small stick antennas actually work? My setup should be as stealth as possible.
Any input, however brutally honest, will be appreciated.
