You missed some fun last year, the low was ~0F at K9CU's site in Urbana. During
setup it was in the upper teens with a 10 mph wind, which taught us just how
stiff the cold can make coax and fingers. My friend managed to get a dipole
into a tree but I settled for a small vertical clamped to the
get nervous pushing my KX3 past 5 watts some of the 100% duty
cycle digital modes. However, I would feel much more comfortable with a
desktop rig that could push 25 watts all day long.*

fingers off of the power
