[PaQSO] Ideas for Portable Operations

[Mark Kempisty]

All,

If your lucky enough to have a second rig or can break down your station easily
and like to go camping, take the rig along.  I picked up a 706, small MFJ power
supply and a hard sided case this year.  After a couple of camping trips I could
get the dipole up and everything hooked together in less than an hour.  Plus
almost everything is in one box.  Setting up for PaQP was a snap except for the
rain.
