Sounds reminiscent of the "rig" I used for a MIR contact from the parking
lot at work many moons ago... Yaesu FT-470 HT driving the PA from a GE
MASTR II sittin' on the back seat of an 86 Toyota Corolla, about 40 watts
out, hand-switched T/R for the PA, 1/4 wave mag mount. BIG surprise to hear
Shannon Lucid come back to me!!! But I got it on tape!
