[FQP] Mobile spotting

[Jeff Clarke]

We are retiring K4BAI's Buick with the mag mounts in the interest of having more room. It wasn't very comfortable to operate from the back seat !

For W4AN/m we will be using my wife's Honda Odyssey minivan. I have mounted an aluminum pipe to the luggage rack and mounted a couple Diamond antenna mounts for the Hustler antennas to screw into. Will be using my IC756PRO for our radio.

My son's Andy and Randy will be joining us this year. Andy helped us a great deal last year in helping us navigate our route. Randy wants to go along for the ride. Guess he felt left out not coming with his brother last year.

We are switching up our route that I have on the FQP webpage. Switching the Saturday and Sunday routes in reverse. Staying in Valdosta, GA on Friday night. We will still end Saturday night around Sarasota.

Everyone have fun and drive safe. Maybe we will run into some of you on the road.

Depending on when you see us, the truck body may have large amounts of white limestone dust accumulated from being on the old unpaved Tamiami Trail in Monroe.
