Joe WØMQY set up his portable station in Barney's parking lot. One of WØMQY's portable antennas uses army surplus mast sections on a homebrew base and supports a rotatable dipole

Joe, (on the right) explaining the portable setup to (L to R) Pete Banfield, Ira KD5AUX and Rex KC5UVN.

The back of WØMQY's van is QRP-ready! Joe is researching ways to speed the setup process at a portable location, with a goal of being on-the-air in two minutes or less.

Rex KC5UVN modified his Atlas 215X by installing a digital frequency display. The display looks professionally installed and the rig sounded great on Joe's portable dipole.

Another of WØMQY's portable antenna is this homebrew Buddipole style dipole.

Here is a close-up view of the homebrew Buddipole dipole feedpoint. This antenna is made to disassemble easily for transport.

A little better view of the larger rotatable dipole. The elements use Hustler mobile resonators and copper tubing elements.
