Ill be mostly CW and I have a small lenovo laptop that has a nice long lasting battery so I may do some real qrp rtty.. we shall see how that works out... Last year I went qrv from ZF2 and worked a couple hundred cw qso's in just a few hours with the hosts paddles flipped around backwards to accommodate my left handed fist...(didnt want to rewire a hosts gear.. was just glad for the oppportunity!)
Your list is great, after my last experience, I have developed a couple portable kits depending on where my travels take me. this will be my mini kit that has much of this stuff.. my bigger kits are more K3 friendly with pelican cases and such for all the accessories. But I have been dying to play with the KX2 and with the primary focus on the kids the mini KX2 kit it is this time... but I will probably bring the buddipole as well. Should be fun!

Will you be working some CW or digital? I've been working on my checklist for portable ops with the KX3. Maybe a little OCD but I'm always concerned about getting out in the field and forgetting something key. My minimal list is: KX3 License Logbook Notebook Pen Pencil Antenna 40/20 Coax jumper Paddles Earphones Hand mic Mason line Weight Spare batteries (AA) All fits in a small camera bag. Also, I wonder if there's any concern about sand getting into the KX2. 73, Kev K4VD ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
