Steven,

Yes, my motor-home has a generator which I have used a lot. I, also, connected #6 wiring from my house batteries to the driver's seat area for running radieos. (If I do it again, I will use smaller wire)

We seem to have a lot in commen, except for ages. I graduated highschool 3 years before you were born. I am also interested in ham radio, rving, tow a Jeep, into Astronomy, have a 16" dob and a couple small equatorial scopes, pick the guatar some. and would like to go full time but have not yet.

Got on question. You have California as your location and Oregon as your address for your ham liscens. Is your mail forwarding service located in Oregon? If you change your service, that means you must change your address with the Feds, right? And the location as California is where you are now?

I must assume then, that the FCC accepts mail forwarding service addresses as home base. Just wondering. That is one of the questions I was thinking about if I do go full time.

Thanks for you imput and love your web-sites.
