Greetings everyone and a belated happy New year!
I was a longtime subscriber to this list and am back again.

Since I was here last my operating conditions have changed considerably. My
primary hf rig is still the much loved Icom ic-703+. We've moved from our 3
bedroom house on the Pinellas Ridge in Clearwater Florida to a rental only a
mile or so from the gulf (not that anywhere in Clearwater is far from the
gulf) but I've gone from about 55 feet above average terrain to sea level
and the 50 foot tower and tri-band yagi are , sadly, gone. I'm using only
portable antennas now. I've got a tripod that will telescope up to about 12
feet and some other portable support structures/ideas. I'll be on the air
portable for the foreseeable future but hope to work you there.

I'd be happy to get in touch with anyone who's operating hf portable or hf
pack. I know Danny Dyer has been doing this for a long time and Jack
McSpadden as well.
