All you need is a good deep cycle battery or two to have fun for FD, even
from home.
I did the battery QRP thing for several years but with very good antennas
(yagis, bobtails, and full wave loop) from my dock and had fun. But now
that I have sold the cruiser and the AC with it, I'll stay out on the
balcony with a cup of coffee, my Yaesu FT-817, and my batteries. If you
ground the brown wire on the FT-857D power connector, it runs very well at
25 watts on batteries.
