[VHFcontesting] 220v portable generator

[barry at k7bwh.com]

You’re going to really like the additional xmit power. I use a cheap Chinese 110-to-220 step up transformer found on Craigslist with a pair of Honda EU2000i. Works great. Read details here: https://coilgun.info/hamradio/beko-amp-220v.htm
The pair of smaller “lightweight” generators is easier to handle by myself than a heavier EU3000. Sometimes I only bring one generator if I use a 500w amplifier but two are needed for a kilowatt amp.

I currently use a Ryobi lightweight generator for 110v but have not had any success in finding something similar (think Honda 3000i size). What is everyone else in running for portable 220v?
