Creative Solution Comes from Unusual Inspiration

Summer is finally here and this means portable and roving operation. As I began to sketch out plans for my next roving operation, I started thinking about the power requirements for my station equipment. For some reason, my mind started to wander with random thoughts, and I remembered Chip Angle's (N6CA's) vehicle decoration (photo A). It was a funny gift from Chip's wife, Margaret, N6SNA. After laughing at this new vehicle decoration, I thought about using a similar idea to route vehicle power from the car battery under the hood and out to my portable station equipment; just stick it under and out the door or hood or trunk!
