>If every kayaker was a ham, I'd say, put up a dual band VHF/UHF HT on the >kite, and have it set to "cross band" operation! >But I won't.....sigh! Why not James? Off-hand I'd say that your idea is the best of them all... Some foam to pack the radio in, with a fiberglass case for the duck epoxied to the top? Actually, it might not be a bad use for my TH-79A [Hisssss Kenwood Hissss...] Coordinating running a kite while paddling/bracing/etc... might not be all that realistic an expectation of *me,* but others may have less difficulty. The expense of *two* dual band HT's of course is another matter... If I remember correctly, in an emergency *ANYONE* is legal to be a control operator. What the heck, keep the rig set to the most appropriate freq, let your companions know how to power up and push the button marked "PTT"... <shrug> Tom... Tom Weese Kirkland, Wa.
