The Kx3 running on LiFePo with solar recharger. I used a voltage booster to keep the supply voltage constant at 13.8 volts.
The antenna is just an inverted L. I used the tuner in the KXPA to keep the rig happy. This was at Bethel Baptist Church in Spartanburg.
My claimed score is 25770 with operating time of 4 .3 hours and driving or having lunch for close to 6 hours according to N1MM. Dave WN4AFP indicated I needed to correct my Cabrillo file since I did not indicate the counties I was in as a rover. Upon correction, my scores as analyzed by the SCQP computer jumped from 25770 to over 31000 - to think what would have happened if I had not gotten kicked out of the Cowpens Battlefield park by the ranger not once but twice. That cost me 1/2 hour at least. Granted it takes me 10 minutes to setup but I have to drive to a new site each time. Each time the park ranger shows up just as I was QRV. Well Margo Blewett (park ranger) blew it for my NPOTA activations for the day since I have to be in NPS grounds for the activation to be valid. My tax dollars at work - I needed proof of liability insurance to conduct an NPOTA activation.
