WOW? You must be kidding.

Here's my "Elmer's" mobile rig circa 1958.

http://www.qsl.net/n7ws/w7uvr.jpg

Folding 2 el beam (later three elements) on 30' rotatable pneumatic
mast.

4-1000A high-level plate modulated (later SSB linear). "Pole-pig"
transformer, with extra leaf in the spring on that side.

5 KW generator (later 15KW)

Two bumper mounted, hat-loaded verticals with remotely tuned
vacuum-variable/rotary-inductor tuning.

Or seen a San Antonian cop drive by with 17 tiny aeraels sticking up
from his cruiser roof, looking like a dead cockroach.

Those guys must use a lotta radios...

You missed mine when it had 8 antennas on it, or when I was in atlanta
