@Northcutt114 if you're not against climbing some hills, you might also look into SOTA, Summits On The Air.
I don't have a portable rig yet but I just ordered a QCX-mini today. I'm hoping to do some SOTA this fall when I go out to west Texas. It appears that there is 5 summits on the ranch where I go.
I'm sure there are sad hams that use the term "appliance operator" in a derogatory way but every time I've heard it so far has been a ham referring to himself.
@UncleYoda thanks for pointing this out. Some people have issues with the ARRL but I appreciate their diligence on matters like this. As they pointed out, AST is trying to grab something they have no legitimate right to. Amazing how some people think that just because they want something, they automatically have a right to it
