Hi Ed,

I worked FD 2017 from my RV using a Eagle One vertical antenna attached to the ladder, an auto antenna tuner at the base of the antenna, and a Yaesu FT-891. With the rig on 12 VDC, I can use the generator and/or solar panel and it worked great. Ran just a single band, 20 Meter CW but had a ball. Hope next year will be a more exotic location! HI
