Intriguing idea. In my case it will take the form of a lightweight
psk-31 station. Our local club does FD every year so I may just use
one of their antennas or rig a 20m dipole (probably a sloper). I
will break the 4# barrier by bringing my old P90 IBM thinkpad that
has a psk-31 program and this will force me to make up a soundcard
I/F for the KX3. I have a pile of 12v 4AH gelcells which will
suffice for power. Our club call is AL7LE but there is some talk of
using a better callsign of one of the members (might be KL7RA).
Back in 2005 (I think) I set up a FD psk-31 station using my FT-847
and the same laptop. It was powered with a 30w solar panel + diehard
deep-cycle marine battery. My antenna was a 20m mobile whip. I was
set up in 20-minutes while the club usually takes about 2-hours to
get the first station running. Club name is the Moosehorn ARC.
