<p>Radio is Yaesu VXA-700 HT, operates both 2m ham and aircraft
118-136Mc, has jacks to plug a aircraft head set in. I put a 1/4
wave homemade whip on the belly. Lorenzo AE5LH maned the radio
while I flew the plane around the city. Lorenzo un-plunged his
headset from the plane and plunged into the HT. We operated using
the club call W5QX. My call is W7IKT. Airplane is Zenith Cruzer
CH-750 built by my wife N5CBQ and me. We made 8 contacts, yours
would be the longest. We were in air for an hour and 20 minutes.
When we fly and operate again I plan on making an interface so
both of us can hear the ham traffic.<br>

<div dir="ltr"> Hello San Angelo ARC!
<div><br>
</div>
<div> Great making contact with you yesterday! Aeronautical
mobile to aeronautical mobile, what was the chance of that
happening? Could be the start of something, aeronautical
mobile simplex net? LOL. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> How many contacts did you log? Longest DX? I logged 20
from Decatur to McAllen. Cross country not sure how I could
figure DX on the fly. You may have been the longest. I'm
guessing 170 miles. I think I was near Granbury, 6,500'. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> I QSYd to .580 and kept getting contacts. Operators
said I showed up on their band scope, how they found me.
And some operators had .580 on their scanner and caught me.
I checked about an hour later and didn't hear you, so I QSYd
back to .520 for the rest of the trip. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> What was your rig? I was using a Yaesu FT-5D at 5W,
RAMI AV-210 dual band antenna mounted behind the rear
window. '67 150G. </div>
