What Equipment ?
So then you want to know what antennas and radio stuff. Well as I am going to be portable I am using one of those cheapo 600watt generators and a 6amp car battery Charger to keep the Wagon Battery Charged. I have a backup home brew Engine with Car Alternator Charger system if the genny packs up. If they both pack up I always have the Expensive on fuel to run Landrover Battery Charger.......
Well the whole setup as I am aiming for.
The radio : is my trusty FT-857
Antennas : 2m Jaybeam 8/8 Skeleton slot feed yagi
: 6m Home brew 5ele Yagi
