I have taken a Hybrid approach to portable gear management

Labelled see through plastic storage containers

Library style shelving but not in alphabetical order

Ready to grab and go gear bags for specific radios

This is an ongoing obsession with managing too many antennas, too many radios, too many accessories etc etc

Now that I am bringing the big base radios to POTA I have to buy more Pelicans, use RG8x, and bigger batteries and more candy from the candy store

So lets now discuss packing 2m and 70cm yagis, and 6m antennas as we have several park operators doing ptp above 30mhz

Do I bring my 8 ft mast, 18 ft mast or 25 foot rotatable mast?
