Recently, my attention has turned back to portable, mobile and light contesting operation. I often operate at home from the outdoor deck with my ICOM 706 out of a suitcase.

I also use an ICOM 706 in a Jeep Liberty. At home I use a Yaesu FT 1000D and a Ten Tec Titan amplifier. Primary antennas include an multiband inverted Vee,30 meter dipole and a Force 12- C3 beam. I am active on most all bands VHF to 160 meters.
