portable off grid ham radio

This is my entire portable amateur radio station. Bottom row: FT-817ND, Z817 automatic antenna tuner, 25 watt folding solar panel. Top row: Coax with unun, random wire antenna with counterpoise, battery box. Not shown: extra fuses & supplies. There’s one important point: You need a place to string up the antenna. If no trees or other existing support points are available, I have PVC pipes that can be staked in the ground. This makes the setup a lot less “portable”.
