Heh! That was my first thought too. Sometimes I'll tote a portable shortwave where I can get away from the usual city RFI and listen to shortwave without all the static. Planning to do that this Halloween, a busy night for shortwave radio pirate stations (technically it'll be October 30, since shortwave radio buffs use Universal Coordinated Time -- but some pirates will broadcast both nights).

If I was a ham op I'd try mobile comms from the bike, but I'm just a DXer.
