I have an 817 with an HF packer Amp, with 5W in i get 35-40 out. I have been able to talk all over Europe with a end fed and a simple wire dipole. It doesn't get any easier to carry or power this radio.

Ahhh...so you have a stay in place/bug IN plan, you just think living in the open is where you will find the most freedom?

It would seem to me that if you don't have supplies, you put yourself in a daily struggle to acquire basic provisions.
You're constantly in a situation the military spends millions of dollars trying to avoid...namely: long supply lines, or being cut off from supplies...
If you're involved in EM, I can understand how the planning for short-term events could affect your concepts of what to prepare for...what if an event occurs, or several events occur, where the government is unable to respond?
All grocery stores have approximately 3 days of inventory, most households have approximately 1 week supply on hand.
What happens after 7-10 days?

Got my tech last November and my general in March.
I'm with you Gil, no shack, want to run portable. Although with winter setting in I have my 817 with a HF packer amp set up in "my room" with a simple multi band single wire dipole in the trees outside my window. When I go portable I have single band end feds and a buddipole.
Welcome madball13 !
I think you need to be prepared on several levels, a mobile "go system" is a good idea, just don't know how someone would make constant/permanent movement a "winnable" strategy?
Maybe that has to do with the type of event you're preparing for? How long of a period of instability do you think will occur?

Congratulation on the tickets and welcome aboard :)
I have the Buddistick, and it works great up to 30m.
The jury is still out on 40...
