Bill and All,

That sort of corresponds to my line of thinking when I go out on QRP Field Day—which rig is smallest, but still competent?  

Actually it might be fun to do something like what you suggest on a lark, but not sure exactly how you “weigh” the weight factor!  Hi. For example, is the weight including, or excluding, batteries?   I suspect a lot of KX1’s and KX2’s would become the rig of choice for those who have access to one.  I might even opt for something like my super small ATS-3b rig which I still consider to be something of a marvel.

Perhaps we need some contests where the weight of the entire 
setup: radio, computer (if needed), power supply, antenna, and 
antenna supports is part of the scoring. Extra points for 
distance from and altitude above the trailhead. :-)
