 * I am a member of **[[https://raynet-uk.org|RayNet UK]]** for emergency communications if the ice melts (or more likely we have a power cut and a Russian / US invasion). This gets me out with my mobile kit doing wide area comm's for charity events mainly, but we take it seriously as we are offically linked with the emergency services and forces in the UK.

 * **Portable** is an eclectic mix of stuff - a LANCH NLH provides general 5W 2m/70cm coverage with APRS over bluetooth to an Android tablet. Family connections use the Baofeng 888SE (~3W) on private 70cm channels when we're out and about. (I have an OFCOM Supplier Light license so this is allowed in the UK.)
-* For **HF Portable** there is an IC-706 (MK1) which will comfortably overload the car's electrical 12V system and heat up a piece of poorly matched wire pretending to be a field antenna.
+* For **HF Mobile** there is an IC-706 (MK1) which will comfortably overload my car's electrical 12V system and heats up a piece of poorly matched wire pretending to be a field antenna.
+* My working, but humble, **shack antenna system**. M0CVO is a UK company who make a selection of sensible antennas that do what they say. But of course they don't break the laws of Physics, so see how I make their [[HW-20HP]] work IRL.
+* A load of 11m (27MHz) 'CB' transceivers both mobile and handheld for playing radio with. I'm also interested in using this band as a sort of ISM for low rate data. Tests are underway...
+* AT6666 10/11/12m mobile for high power (65w) 10m operation, with options to wander around the neighbouring channels.
