Is it it not clear from the rules Matt?
Ok. Guilty (of sloth) as charged.
Yes I can use my ebike (or car) battery so long as i remove & disconnect them from the vehicle.
Right?
Yes, as long as the battery is removed from the vehicle you can then use the battery to power the radio.
Back when I had really long hair. Was there a radio? Yes, and my call was N9EP, and I made summit landings many times. That was before SOTA.

Most cool, El!
Did not know about your time in N9 country.
Got some “unofficial” stick time in B-model hueys in 'nam; a real Cadillac; and only 55 gallons an hour!

Was not in N9 country. That’s the call of the helicopter radio, and N9EP was the only 4 digit vanity call available in 1981 with the initials of my name. I got the idea from Arnold Palmer, whose Lear was N1AP. Main difference is: he was a private multi-engine pilot and I’m a commercial copter pilot. The numbers on the side of aircraft are always the radio call, not the registration numbers. Fifty five gallons an hour in a Huey is closer to what I used up in a P-51, which burns 360 gallons an hour during take-off. The price per gallon at San Francisco International has dropped recently, down to 9.90 dollars per gallon.

hmmmm. Kendal Mint Cake… any body from near Kendall (or a Cotswolds outdoor shop) heading to the States any time soon?? Not sure I can wait for my May trip for some of that sugary minty Goodness, and would gladly pay someone to smuggle me some 
This is the vehicle I head to (and most times sleep in) the Trailheads…home when the YL and I are not touring outside the states…
