My current WWFF-portable set up

April 26, 2021 By: admin Category: DX Pedition, OHFF, WWFF

My (OH1NOA, ES1NOA, OH0NOA) current set up for the portable WWFF operations is the following:

  • Transceiver: Kenwood TS-2000 (has ATU inside), usually running 50-70 W
  • Antenna: HyEndCompany 8 band end-fed antenna + Aircell 5 coax (maybe 15m long), reserve antenna: 3-band link dipole
  • Mast: SOTABeams Tactical 7000 HDS, heavy duty 7m mast, I use some starch el-wire to tie the mast to tree
  • Battery: 26Ah VRLA/gel lead battery (I have two for multi-park activations + two chargers to charge both overnight)
  • Schurr Profi II CW paddle, paper log with pen, light KOSS-headphones
  • light foldable outdoor chair and table
  • small UST All-Weather Tarp 2.4×1.8 for rainy weather (easy to install in 2 minutes, weight 400grams), for heavy rain I have DD Hammock 3x3m tarp in reserve
  • cheap light tarpaulin for ground (if it is wet or dirty)
  • paracord rope for antenna and tarp
  • food, water, Mora-knife, some tools, Gorilla + electric tape + some small things …
