Looking into the front passenger seat of my car. There is a pole mounted to the seat, occupying a good chunk of the leg space. An IC-7300 is mounted to an arm attached to the pole, on the left, partially above the shifter. A monitor is also attached to the pole, blocking most of the view out the front windshield. Various tools, cables, bits, and bobs are strewn about.
Progress update.

A photo of a table covered in equipment. At the bottom, to the right, is an Icom IC-7300 with its mounting bracket attached in the overhead position. There is a mounting arm bolted to the bracket, leading off to the right. A tiny winkeyer is tied down to the bracket. To the left is a green plastic box. Inside the box (not visible) is the emergency 12v 7Ah battery, the low-loss PWRGate, the 48v->13.8v DC-DC converter, and a relay to switch automatically to an external power supply. Behind the green plastic box is a black switching 13.8v power supply. Above these items is a computer screen, mounted to a pole. An XFCE Linux desktop is showing on the monitor. The 12v-powered PC is bolted to the back of the monitor. Also visible: Some packages of 12-10Ga disconnects, an HDMI cable, some USB cables, a digital voltohmmeter, some power cables, a dummy load and other miscellaneous bits and bobs. Behind all this is a sofa and the rest of my living room.
My project to replace my ham pod with my car is coming together...
Eventually the radio and the computer will be mounted on a pole inside the car.

I just realized I didn't do any #ParksOnTheAir for November! Sad... I'll have to compensate by doing two this month!
#POTA #HamR #HamRadio #AmateurRadio #AmateurFunk #RadioAmatori
Sure, they count as valid activations - but they're not in keeping with the spirit of the #ParksOnTheAir program...
Every mode counts. AM, FM, SSB, CW, Digi, Fusion, D-STAR...

Looking east along a two-lane highway. It is nighttime and there are no street lights. In the foreground is the ham pod. The inside the ham pod is illuminated by a computer screen, giving the pod an eerie glow. A chair inside the pod casts a dark shadow. The sky is only barely lighter than the surroundings, and the silhouettes of trees frame a single bright star. The grass immediately left of the ham pod is faintly lit.
Last weekend was a #ParksOnTheAir #SupportYourParks weekend, so I packed up my gear and headed out for some #POTA fun. I arrived at my chosen park around 15:30Z, and after getting all set up, logged my first contact at 15:59Z. Ten hours later, I had 636 […]

A grassy field surrounded by trees. To the right is the ham pod. Visible inside the ham pod are a small table under which sits a large silver battery. Atop the table are a radio box, a computer keyboard, and some gloves. To the left of the ham pod, a folding chair lies in the grass. A red post is visible, with an antenna strung from it to a yellow pole at the left, next to a picnic table. A few cookout grills are visible near the trees.
I headed out to a park yesterday for a little #ParksOnTheAir.
I got to the park around 15:00Z, and hunted my first park at 15:28Z.
Three-and-a-half hours later, I had 185 contacts in the log and it was time to pack up.
