[CQ-Contest] adding challenges to field day

[Jon]

1D? 

 

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.
