[Towertalk] portable operating

[Jerry Kincade]

My High Sierra screwdriver is going on vacation with me in July, including a
6' foldup aluminum tripod ground mount and four roll-out radials. My K1-4
and the antenna drive motor will both be powered by a 7AH battery. Will be
operating at 7,000 ft and up in the Big Horn Mts in Wyoming, and the Rockies
near Colorado Springs. If it doesn't catch contacts I'll tie a #14 Black
Gnat on the whip and at least catch supper!
