At present I am preparing to return to Washington State and look forward to portable operating in the near future. I have been a licensed amateur since 1993 (Ex: KE4DXE) and a long-distance backpacker since 1996 (having hiked half the PCT thru WA) but have yet to combine these two activities. Thanks in part to advances in ultralight gear, and in part to advances in QRP equipment, together we are exploring new territory, i.e., my most recent assembly included an FT-817 and W3FF "Buddipole;" with new developments I'm looking forward to deploying 1/4 wave verticals on 40/30/20m and portable quads for VHF, in combination with the same kit I used for long-distance section hikes, to operate CW and SSB atop some of the most remote, rugged, and scenic terrain the Pacific Northwest has to offer. 73, Matt KE7EX
