Hiking is fun and QRP is fun. Both can be combined using homebrew equipment :)

This is my current light-weight QRP equipment for hiking:

• ATS-4 (KD1JV)
• T1 ATU (Elecraft)
• Antenna (Buddipole)
  • VersaTee
  • Shock-cord Whip 7 elements
  • 2x Antenna Arm 22”
  • Ground wire (~10m)
  • Coax Cable (RG174)
• PPK Straight Key (Palm Radio)
• 10 AA Cells (Eneloop) with PowerPoles
• Sennheiser Earphones
• Everything tied together using hook-and-loop-tape
