Rigs for SOTA:
- HF, 6m, 2m, 70cm (SSB/FM): FT-818ND with internal 3Ah (33.3Wh) LiPo, max. 6W HF.
- 2m, 70cm (FM/C4FM): FT-2DE, also used for APRS2SOTA and APRS, max. 5W HF.
Portable Antennas:
- Commercial and home-made resonant half wave end fed dipoles (EFHW) for the 10, 15, 17, 20, 40 and 60 meter band. With an extension, the 80 meter band can be used as well, albeit with less efficiency.
Usually configured as inverted-L with a 6m long telescopic glass fiber mast. No antenna tuner is needed. - Home-made VP2E for the 17 meter band (needs more testing).
