OK, so the last camping trip didn't work out the way I had hoped: broke the 7000 and couldn't find the connector assembly to power the 706. But I did have great results with that piece of wire tied to the whip on my jeep hung on the mast on the RV ladder; at least until I busted the connector on the 7000.

I'm ready for the next trip though. The 7000 is fixed- Houston Amateur Radio in Spring Texas is great- and I have found the connector assembly for the 706. We are going to Hamfset and will stay at the Thousand Trails in Wilmington. They have some enormous trees to hang wires from. With the slingshot I should be able to hang wire as high as 80 feet.

Anybody else going to Dayton?
