Thanks Pete,I was about to get out my checkbook until I read the last line. Amazing how they can fit a 100 watt transceiver inside that wrist mount.
Back to reality. I am in Zichron Yaacov, Israel for 4 weeks and will again set up the station from there. The antenna is an MFJ 17 ft whip so that will get me 6m through 20 meters. The transceiver is the TS590SG at 100w output. I am using the large metal railing for the ground plus some quarter-wave radials. I made 3000 contacts from there last year with many also on 6m. The location is 500 feet above the Mediterranean sea. This year I did not bring the 500w amplifier nor my suitcase 160-6 meter antenna. 
Best to all.

Icom has done it again. Breaking ground in miniaturization and 
functionality.
Looks great for portable contesting!
