The M37 is a military vehicle introduced in the 1950s to replace the WWII era WC 3\/4 ton trucks.  It is larger than a Jeep, smaller than a 2 1\/2 ton, all my radio and camping equipment fits easily inside.  I was able to take it to Lake Perry State Park for a parks on the air activity September 2021.  I was looking at various recreational vehicles to move radio equipment, but none of those would be as interesting as this truck.  The truck has many features that I will have to detail, particularly the antenna and mount that seems to tune from 30-50Mhz which is what I would expect for a military antenna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This trip I was able to use the DX Commander antenna, which performed very well giving me 141 contacts in a weekend. With cooler weather nearing, I expect to get in the field more often since I find winter camping more comfortable than summer camping. I made some modifications to the antenna to speed up setup and tear down which I plan to detail soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is likely overkill, but it is fun.
