[UK-CONTEST] BA Luggage

[marc.tinkler at yahoo.com]

Hi Bob
 
I have a 7m SOTA pole but i was thinking of getting a 12M spider pole.. still goes pretty small I think ... and then I was thinking of using a doublet (30m long ..ish) fed with some 300 ohm twin feed which I assume would cut the weight??
 
I have a laptop rucksack that I think I could fit my laptop, 706, ATU and PSU into and then using that as hand luggage although it might be heavy and the X ray guys would probably want to have a poke at it.
 
Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hi Marc

The rules change all the time.

However

A 10m SOTA pole in a telescopic document bag was OK with BA last year
And for the rest you have to get under 20kG I think - the thing that 
weighs is coax cable so its worthwhile working out exactly how long a 
length you need to take.
Otherwise K2/100/ATU/PSU/Key travel in the checked bag and the laptop in 
the carry on bag (only one allowed last week going out LGW>LUX  but two 
coming back !)
