Unfortunately for me today most stations were down for me. All of the NH
stations were Q5.

Today or setup my little portable setup I've been working on. It's not a
green radio but somewhat green inspired. My goal was to have everything I
need in one backpack, quick and easy to deploy. Today I was inside, using
my homebrew L network turner. It's housed in an old MFJ case. My antenna is
a 120 foot end fed with a 10 foot counterpoise clipped to a chain link
fence. I can operate completely from the backpack if need be. The only
thing not pictured is the battery charger and power cord if commercial
power or car battery power is available.

I plan to add some home built roll up J-pole type antenna for VHF work.
