Dx431 Find a power supply fast. 16 hours till the net starts.Take the battery out of the car and hook it up.( Bad advice ) Iv have hooked up 12 volt mobile radios to 12 volt car battery out side in open air and did some Dx in the past. I stress never take a car battery and hook it up to a 12 volt battery charger and wire it to a radio inside a house or a confined building. A 12 volt battery can blow a hood off a car. Dx431 Put the mobile in the car or truck and back up to the base antenna to get on the net and check around for power supplys, And check out our COPPERS ELC.They shur do us a favor we need to do the same.This spring im going to order a bunch of stuff including a new beam.Hope to talk you on the net Dx431 My neighbor to the west. 73's
