TK-880 mobile test / Laird ghost & Tram 1181

[fremont]

Set up my TK-880 in truck (on high power) and broadcast approx. 8 miles (with some hills in the way) to a repeater; a friend was waiting with his FRS about 2-3 mi. from that repeater.

 

This friend, an ex-US Navy Vietnam swift boat radioman, gave me two "5x5" responses (via text) after raising him with both the NIB Tram 1181 dual band and Laird 450-470 ghost antennas.

 

I was pretty pleased with how things went down.  Thanks for the collective help.
