I operated QRP portable while on family vacation from EM74 Georgia again this year. I had a better equipment setup this year to include an external battery that allowed my FT-817 to have 5W output and a wire dipole on 50 MHz. Conditions were very good on 6 meters on Saturday but not as good on Sunday. My equipment: FT-817, wire dipole for 6, portable beam on camera tripod for 2, and a telescopic vertical for 2 and 70cm. Great contest! TNX/73, KC8KSK -- KC8KSK
