I wasn’t entirely certain where the “mobile” portion of the Phil-Mont Mobile Radio Club’s name came from. I guess I had assumed “mobile” was more of a stand-in for “the rig is small enough it can be removed from the shack,” but nope. The “mobile” was for hams who very much wanted to be on-air while on the go, not just after having moved from point A to point B.
