OK. Thanks
Thinkin of settin up a 706 on my HD FXDS. Runnin 20 watts or so. Not
sure about an antenna, but a small homemade screwdriver would be fun.



Document it. HF Motorcycle is rare enough that any effort would be of
great interest. You'll be wanting to maximize your "ground" area. The HD
has a lot of iron as bikes go, so you'll be starting out wit a best case
there. Of course on a bike, there isn't a huge amount of that. Ignition
noise will be an issue also, but with some effort, all this can be overcome.

Your screwdriver would be a good way to go.

I hope you do it, because it would be way cool.
