Ham Radio From a Moving Train

Tim Carter, W3ATB, and Jim Cluett, W1PID pair up to give a demonstration of DX ham radio from a moving train. This is a very rare method of mobile operation as a regular train crew is prohibited by law from operating radio equipment while the train is in motion. Jim Cluett, the operator in the video, was a passenger on the train and not a paid employee. He worked no less than eight European stations during the one-hour train ride. You can read his account and see his complete log right here:http://w1pid.com/15/train/train.html
