Yeah, 

  I'm doing POTA but I have to admit I've only really been a hunter station. 
I'm set up to go outdoors and was doing that long before POTA took off but just 
hadn't had the opportunity of late.

  I used to use my TenTec 506 Rebel and I'd hike that and a simple 40m dipole 
up to the local fire tower when I lived in Northern Saratoga County often 
enough. I had a gel cell battery and could run CW all day if I pleased. 

  Now I'm using a Xeigu G106 in the shack and it's everything the TenTec was 
(minus the superb full break in) plus 10-80m all modes. I've been doing more 
with FLdigi of late with it and finding the NBEMS stuff works QRP just fine 
most of the time. 

  Just got an old MFJ Econokeyer though at the hamfest last week so I can work 
bug mode out of doors now so perhaps I'll get to some parks as an activator.
