W6SAE Portable Setup
This is my rig for portable HF operations, usually Summits On The Air (SOTA): a Yaesu FT-857D transceiver, running through an LDG Z-11 Pro II antenna tuner. To the left are the various components of my lightweight W1SFR 35-foot end-fed wire antenna, which is good for 40 to 6 meters.
For power, I use a Bioenno BLF-1206A 12-volt, 6 amp-hour LiFePO (lithium iron phosphate) battery (not shown).
We are currently vacationing at South Lake Tahoe, California; no summit activations this time around, but I plan to do some “portable” operating from the deck outside our Airbnb.
