[CQ-Contest] Carrying rig on airliner ?

[Richard Thorne]

Trey makes a very good point.  When I left for N4ZC's in Charlotte the
security folks here in Amarillo wanted to see it work.  But I did not have
a powersupply as there was one waiting for me at Rog's.

Anyways I showed them my license which satisfied them.  In addition they
made a copy of the license for there records before letting me pass.
