Hey everyone,
Work for me starts here in a few weeks and I want to stay on the air once I start traveling the country... When traveling, I'm going to try to limit myself to a carry-on bag for the 4 days I'll be out of town, but there is a lot of downtime in the evenings and I'd like to stay on the air.
I think I've pretty much settled on the FT-817ND as my rig with the power cable mentioned in a previous thread... This is where I'd like help. I'm looking for opinions about what I can do for an antenna (I'm thinking the ATAS-25), a very, very small paddle to do CW and a very, very small tuner.
I really need all this stuff to fit inside a carry-on suitcase along with clothes, etc. I'm not worried about everything not fitting in the suitcase, because traveling last year for work, I had tons of room left ... even when I left town for more than 4 days. I'd just like the stuff to be as small as possible.
Thanks in advance for helping me build my QRP kit!
