[VHFcontesting] "Portable"

[KA6AMD]

As I live in a remote and semi-rare grid square, I need good sized 
antennas just to be heard in the Los Angeles area.  The home QTH is in a 
valley surrounded by +5000ft mountains, so portable is the only way to 
go.  It takes about four hours to set it all up.  When done I have 3 
masts; a 6-meter beam, a 2M-222-432  set, and 902 together with 1296.  
This separation allows me to work in different directions when I need 
to.  It also consolidates the antennas with similar beamwidths on their 
own masts, making the steering a little bit easier.
