I was wondering the same thing. I am going to CA soon and of course want to bring some gear.... I would think this is a pretty common item, but considering the number of hams vs population maybe not??? I am gonna call the airline and see what they say! Kevin KF7MYK P.S. I stopped experimenting with my new antenna, sorry for any interuptions this weekend, I was hearing you guys, and myself. Just not good enough. :( _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
