I don't think I have read anyone mentioning Ham Radio.
Are any of you Fox fliers also ham radio ops? If so, it
would be great to meet up and have a round-table.
If not, there is Skpe which is free and allows "conference
calls."
Skype can be found at http://www.skype.com With a $10
microphone and $10 speakers, it works well...but not as much
fun as ham radio.
Cheers,
Grant

N5MPC here. NO ham gear up and running now. Putting all my pennies and
time in the project. Planning to one day put 2m/440 in the plane though.

I was WA7SZJ until I failed to renew. Regarding ham gear in the airplane,
I had an experience in the 70s when I was busily engaged as crew on an ocean
racing yacht. On one race to Hawaii, we were mid Pacific when I got on the
radio to see what I could find. There was an airline pilot - a ham - who
filled the more boring parts of his trans Pacific route utilizing his
priveleges. He explained that the radios on board could be tuned to the ham
frequencise and we talked for a time on 40 meters until he had to turn to
ATC .
Every once in a while, I get the bug again, but it has never gotten me
going. We were all using tube equipment then and I don't know if I could
handle the theory now.

So where would one go about finding good, inexpensive ham-gear?? I don't
think I've touched a radio in a few years...I'm afraid they might give
KC2DKF away to another Hammer LoL...How much would a good aircraft setup
run?

If you just want to do 2 meters the Vertex Standard VXA 710 will double as a air com/nav and 2 meter ham band. I have the VXA 700 which is similar and am happy with it after some initial problems. It comes with a headset adapter, so it is easy to use in an airplane for both air and ham applications.
Should be able to get it through one of the larger ham stores for about $350.
