Dynamotor value

[Bob W5UQ]

My 55 Ford was my baby.  I was a senior in High School and the colors 
were Red and White... my Ford was red and white tooooo.  I put a 
dynamotor that I converted from 12/24 VDC to 6/12VDC, cause the Ford was 
6 volt system then.  I "whined up to speed" and I was transmitting.  The 
receiver was a converter to my AM radio... the MOBILE antenna was a 
homebrew WHIP with a LOADING COIL in the CENTER of the whip... back then 
we got an extension and put a coil for a particular band in the center.

I was so enamored by girls that I can hardly remember what I had in the 
auto...  I was more interested in "girls" then........ :-D

My dynamo WHINED though and the girls loved it... Bob  
W5UQ....PS....don't tell my wife...
