I suggest you join the NA SOTA Yahoo group. It's open, these are folks who hike [and at least one runs] up mountains, and there's a wealth of knowledge about lightweight radio and antennas, and gear to carry it all in. See the cc address above. You may not be outside on your travels, but there is lots of good info there about field radio away from home. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2012 Cal QSO Party 6-7 Oct 2012 - www.cqp.org SOTA: Summits On The Air www.sota.org.uk ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
