The 1 Kilo HF challenge. A multiband activation pack below 1 kilogram

[M1BUU]

Hi Ignacio, great thread!

I’ve been using very similar equipment for the past year or so. I find the performance is perfectly fine. I have the same LiPo, it lasts for a very long time! Sometimes I use 370mAH 3S, which gives me about 4.5W from the MTR. This lower capacity LiPo is more than capable for a long activation.

I use a dipole antenna with small 4m pole.

Also, see my thread from the old reflector -

Weighing it all up

It seems a long time since I tackled a decent lump of rock, so I decided that a trip to the English Lake District was in order. With Richard G3CWI recently sharing his experiences and fun with his new RockMite 20 with the aim of ultralight activations, I started thinking about lightweight equipment solutions myself. When tackling the larger summits, I guess it’s very beneficial to have less weight on your back. I got the weighing scales out this evening for fun and also to help plan for my upco…
