Thanks for all the references and replies guys. Seems it's "legal" to check
them, but an invitation to get hassled by the man. Suffice to say I made up
a long cigarette lighter cord for the uplink radio to run from the rental
van, and brought the AA and nicad packs for the 817.

I hope I get he chance to work some of you as VP2EAG between tomorrow and
the 24th.

PS anyone hear the supposed 6W expedition today or yesterday?
