PRC-10, RT-70 + battery + ground-mounted antenna, NVIS inverted Vs for 80 and 40M.

Depends on where I'm asked to set up my antenna.   I'd rather be in the same location with the antenna, both Friday afternoon and/or Saturday morning.  That's so I can ensure it stays up and poses no hazard for passersby.
