Bull****. It's 100% off-topic in rec.aviation.hombuilt AND
rec.aviation.piloting. There's no "crossbreeding


Well...I can tell you for a fact there is at least ONE "crossbreed" here.
I
suspect you are right about the 25% thing though. At least 25% of the Hams
I
know are (or were) pilots, but pilots who are also Hams are rarer.

As for whether it is on topic - there has been a thread here about how to
do
an antenna on a composite aircraft. A Ham would have no trouble building a
half wave dipole with a gamma match for 120 MHz, I would outperform a
grounded quarter wave and it would cost almost nothing. But I guess a
PILOT
is too good for that!?!!
