Q R P e r

One of the best things about operating QRP is the ability to grab your gear and take it with you.

The following links are a collection of websites where people showcase their “grab and go” kits and techniques. I would like to make this collection of links as extensive as possible, so if you have a suggestion for another site please let me know. Also, if you would like to write-up a description of your portable gear along with photos, you can post it here on QRPer.com!

Here is a collection:
