Comments: Operated mobile from Tanner's Ridge in Shenandoah National
Park, VA using an IC-706MKII, Hustler whip, and 486 notebook computer
with NA software. It was easy to tell the insect bites from the RF burns.
The former were inflicted below the knees while hiking the trails in the
park. The RF burns began just before sunset after QSY to 40M. The metal
screws on the bottom of the notebook were radiating a strong field into my
legs above the knees, but could be avoided by carefully shifting the
computer on my lap. The view from Tanner's Ridge at 3465 feet elevation
was spectacular, particularly at sunset! The operating position proved to
be quite uncomfortable in the passenger seat of my XYL's Camry, and about
7 1/2 hours was all I could stand. Worked several of my fellow members in
both the Florida Contest Club and Florida Contest Group including a "sweep"
with K1TO on four bands (only had resonators for 10-40M).
