Nice setup there. Did you operate that equipment in the field? If so, how did you power the amp?
 
I was really busy this weekend, but I did manage to give out a few contacts on 2m with an HT while travelling to my Mother-in-Law's house, about an hour away. Maybe next year I'll go camping or something and set a station up.
