Who is he going to communicate with? More than likely, this will dictate the equipment he will need, unless he is going to buy equipment for everyone! For example, I did a search and found some recommendations for 4 wheel drivers in the Australian Outback http://www.4wdsa.asn.au/?page=communication Zack Lau W1VT ARRL Senior Lab Engineer |
