Wanted to let you know that I'm going portable for my first ever very high frequency RadioSport event. My mentor is sponsoring our location with his near hilltop vantage point.
Our antenna system is a Buddipole two element configuration for 6m with the possibility of re-configuring the system for 2m operation? I'm taking my Yaesu FT100 mobile transceiver including Heil boom microphone, Bencher paddles, and Acer notebook as related accessories. My Honda EU2000i is outside warming up in preparation for this weekend.
I'm settled on operating inside a tent as current weather conditions are cloudy to partly cloudy with a temperature in the mid-sixties. It's cool climes near the beach at this time of the year. A North Face sleeping bag will provide warmth after sunset to include layering clothes.
I'm looking forward to assembling each system in the field then launching our CM95 signal from my mentor's antenna ranch during the 2013 ARRL June VHF Contest.
Contest on!
