[Elecraft] Camping radio ops: then and now

[Bill Frantz]

On my first portable operation, I put my Small Wonders Labs 
PSK-20 (a 20M 5W transceiver fixed tuned to the PSK subband), a 
MacBook, a SignaLink, a battery, a dipole, and a Thermarester 
portable chair into a backpack and hiked about a mile up into 
the Sierra Azul open space district above Los Gatos, CA.

I found a lovely site overlooking the valley with trees giving 
me about 15' elevation for the dipole. I had a fun afternoon 
making PSK contacts.
