I found my old CB from the 70's and after I check it out, am thinking about putting it in my TV. In addition, if I ever get off my duff, I'll mount a dual band FM Ham radio in the trailer and in the TV... I can chat to the XYL while out walking on my HT...
See my previous post... I built a couple nice Dual Band (2m/70cm) antennas (Similar to the ARROW) and plan to use a tire mount (park trailer on base) and poke it up in the air...
73's and good luck on the radio mount

Funny thing, coincidences....I was just looking up my old post concerning Ham radio and CB usage, when I saw this response from you, two years after my post. I had been thinking about getting a hand-held again (primarily for emergency use, power outages, NOAA weather, etc) and had even started to take practice tests, again (I'm still getting about 5 wrong answers). The deja vu factor pops up considering that I was going to contact a fellow camper who got me interested in the first place, Texas Bill, to tell him I was interested once more. I recently learned of his passing, having not seen him in almost 2 years, Very sad. But, although I haven't camped since then (when Bill graciously tuned the SWR of my CB installation, at Beaver's Bend), I was going to try to get back into camping and join him in amateur radio. A day late, a dollar short, as usual for me.... Hardly ever go anywhere now, a year after I retired, mainly for my health (my knees and back, overworked!!). Projects at home have sidelined me further, but I'm going to get the radio, then the license, then maybe take a trip or two. Thanks for your interest, AZ.
