The West Valley Amateur Radio Association (using the K6EI call)
has been running K2s and K3s at field day for at least 5 or 6
years. We run QRP battery for the entire "contest". We use a
collection of lead acid batteries in the 100 AH category with
solar panels as a power supply.
It's really nice using a world-class radio and they help us
achieve good scores.

Yeah, a solar panel or a larger batt would be required for longer than that
or a lot of QSO's at 10-12 watts, but to me it's pretty cool that I can
operate the highest performing rig on the market (or close to it) off the
tailgate of my pickup in the mountains or hills around where I live.

But to me, even a K3(s) is a worthy competitor in /p, though it's kind of a
sledge hammer for portable ops with far far more RX performance that you'd
typically need.....
