Default best setup for vehicle to base communication seperated by 100 to500 miles?

Hey OM

I am still tryin to cobble together a 4-1000a PA I first did my
research googled the heck out of 4-1000a. By golly there is a tonne of
stuff out there. I'm sure I found it while googling google video.

My base station would have frequency hopping beacons on all HF bands,
so I could tell what the best frequency is to use. I would always get
an update of the MUF off the internet. Along with any solar activity,
the solar flux, A and K indices, sun spots are down so you won't have
to worry about those for about 5 more years.

You just can't do that with a single band that's only a few Khz wide

Maybe he should go VLF like the bubble heads do and use D star digital
on VLF band. With a big bug catcher basket wound coil on VLF would
look like a cooling tower on a van.

Hey OM:


I seen a van on youtube this guy had two dual 4-1000a PA's, and a gas
powered generator in the back. On 20 meters he'd be rocking the world.
Do you think he was running class A? I don't think he was using it to
break pileups.
