I'm just trying to make the point that this is really enjoyable for me, and
relating the gear that works for me.

Better antennas weigh less than amps and batteries, just sayin'.

I've been busy with work this week and haven't had time for my 2 cents
worth on sota/radios/etc.
But generally speaking, anything N1EU says on the subject I would take as
gud as gold.
I was pulled kicking and screaming into sota 3 years or so ago, tnx to
N4LA, and now am really into it.
The gear I take has evolved to where I now usually use a kx-3 with the 100
watt amp that goes with it, and more often than not, I carry 2 of the
little batteries with me. Running the amp at around 50 watts, I can get
about 4 hours of use from the 2 batteries.
For my paddle, I use the GHD mini paddle sold by Morse Express.
I use an amp because I grew tired of hiking to the top of some mountain
and only working a handful of stations.
