[Elecraft] Ham radio as a side dish

[Phil Hystad]

My wife is a bird photographer (hobby, not professional, although she has been published).  But, going with her on these trips is not like a hike or walk in the park.  She will stalk a given bird for an hour or so waiting for the perfect shot.  Me, I would be standing there waiting.

So, more often these past couple of years I will park someplace convenient with my KX2 and Buddipole.  A few times I have even carried along a folding "card" table and chair if some other type of sitting area is not available.  This has actually become my favorite type of operating.
