Training for 10 parks in 1 day. This practice run at Fort Yargo State Park (US-2177) was before heading to work: 31 QSOs in 19 minutes on 40m SSB (7.195), 14 states, 2 park-to-parks, best DX KV5WB in Texas at 783 miles. First 10 in the log in 10 minutes.
Part of my prep for the Georgia POTA Sprint on 10/17, where I'm going for the Rhino award: 10 parks in one UTC day.
THE GO BOX
Everything to get on the air lives in one Apache 3800 case:
FT-891 (still working out the head mount)
30Ah battery
25 ft RG8X, PL-259 to BNC male
Barrel connector on the bulkhead
Spooltenna 49:1 EFHW
LilDude 6 carbon fiber mast + fishing rod spike holder
For this run I swapped in the Chameleon 34 ft mast on a 21" spike, no guying needed. Setup isn't on camera this time because I was racing the clock without the POV glasses. Teardown is, and it's under 5 minutes, packed in the car.
