Re: [HCDX]: Winter DXing in a car

["Jeff Kadet" <jkadet@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A small propane cylindar with a heater element that screws right into the top gives off plenty of
heat.  I've used these for years in the  camper shell attached to my truck with no problems
whatsoever.  These run very clean.  Just keep a window cracked open about an inch.

know all about freezing, Hi! One recipy is warm underwear - you can't overdo this part and also
very warm socks and heavy footgear. As the insulation in a car is just worthless the cold creeps in
after a few minutes. I used to run the engine now and then for a few minutes to get some warmth
inside help a bit, too. When conditions were good and signals good you could still listen.

fumes. An electric blanket could be fine, but remember that you would probably like your car to
start after a long nights listening. Don't empty the battery!

24 hours or more, but haven't heard about that feature for a couple of years.

that I only felt the cold when nothing was heard.
