[Elecraft] Camino de Santiago portable operation from Spain

[Scott Manthe]

Hi Elecrafters,

I'm not sure this is the right place for this, and if not, maybe some of 
you can point me in the right direction for a more suitable place to 
post, but I did talk to Wayne about this at Dayton this year. My wife 
and I are going to do another leg of the Camino de Santiago next year 
and I'm thinking of taking a portable HF rig, like the KX2 or KX3, with 
me to operate while we walk. For those of you not familiar, the Camino 
de Santiago is a pilgrimage route in northern Spain that people have 
been walking since at least 812AD, and probably before that. These days, 
people from all walks of life like to take on the challenge of walking 
anywhere from 100 to 800 km. We walked 100 or so miles last year and I 
thought it'd be cool to take a rig along and operate during stops along 
the way next time we went.

My first question question is have any of you done a portable operation 
similar to this and do you have any pointers? Secondly, do you think 
there'd be any interest in this operation? Spain's not rare (we'd mostly 
be in EA1), so I'm wondering if there would be many amateurs interested 
in simply working the Camino for a commemorative QSL. We're walking, so 
it's by necessity going to be QRP, so no big sigs and it might be a 
challenge on both ends to work me. Any tips will be appreciated, 
including operating/antenna tips, advice on operating in Spain or even 
advice on the right forum to pose the question.

Thanks in advance and 73!
