Preparing the Equipment at Home

Dxpedition equipment

DXpedition equipment assembled and working. Time to pack it up.
My poor beat up K3 Classic. It’s been to many countries and it sports quite a few dents and scratches, but it’s still ticking.
This is the first time the KPA500 & KAT500 have left my house though. Notice my brand spanking new Begali. Just purchased at Dayton Hamvention
Besides American Samoa and Fiji, this is the station we will use as KH7Z/mm. 20 Meters only aboard ship.
