I'm not exactly sure what the FAA rules say about operating HF on blimps, but I have worked guys who were aeronautical mobile in small private planes. I'm sure the rules could be different for airships.

Regarding getting permission to use amateur radio in an aircraft, it helps to know the captain. (See my other posting about flying the Fujifilm blimp.) My last flight in the Fuji blimp was flying around San Diego for 4 hours on the last day of 1996. The co-captains were hams, as were six of the seven passengers. Four of us had 2m handhelds, and we entertained ourselves and others on simplex and through area repeaters during the flight. --Dave, W6KOW _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
