Managed to thin my equipment and drop a few pounds of my gear, listed the weight below along with the changes made. I was lucky with work sending me to GW/NW-062 Hope Mountain for a fault and it was a quick dash up to the summit for a test of my equipment prior to setting of for home.
I now have a spare linked dipole for 20/30/40 made with DX UL wire and has only a 1m length of rg174 with a female bnc connector free to good home if anyone would like it.
Total Weight 873g CW only
-
238g - Antenna system linked dipole for 17/20/30/40m bands, includes 3 pegs cut in half and thinner para cord, lighter wire and I used cable ties to join the links together. (used new nail clippers for a smooth cut on the cable ties)
-
141g - MTR with dc cable, made myself a 1 amp fused cable with powerpole connectors.
-
073g - Battery 750mAH rhino battery.
-
009g - Log book consists of 4 sheets of write in the rain and 2 pencils.
-
027g -Pico key and cable.

372g - Antenna pole, I was using a 6m telescopic pocket pole that weighed over 500g but realised my 5m normal type was lighter with the end section removed
Not part of the weight that I have built from a highlander mess kit into storage box/flight deck weighs in at 191g.
