Got my portable setup completed, over the summer, and did my first POTA. Wa a bit late in the evening, so didn’t get enough contacts, but still had a good time.

A cheap skateboard bag (about £7) and the original tubes the Slidewinder came in, please a cheap camera bag (about £11) for the X6100, battery, etc.

10m of Ultraflex 7 coax, and the official PLs.
@M0KPH Did you win the lottery?
@mw1cgg @M0KPH Golly - do you have a steward that sets it up for you too?
@MM0INH @M0KPH I suspect the Butler organises people to do that for him.

@mw1cgg 😁 Last years hospitalisation made me realise you can’t take it with you, so I treated myself: LUMIX G80 (cracking camera for the price), Xiegu X6100, Slidewinder, Seestar S50 over the course of a year though!

Must say, haven’t treated myself for a long time.

@M0KPH Nice range of kit! Love the idea of some automated telescopes at the moment. Something I can leave in the garden and control from a warm room - but half the fun is catching cold under the cold, dark sky.

@M0KHR It is a brilliant piece of kit and well worth it for the occasional viewer. I also don’t have room for a full sized setup.

These are also great to take on holiday.
