Recently I carted a load of portable radio gear from Perth to Augusta after Hamfest with the goal of doing some portable work.
BobCORRESPONDENT
Augusta, in true fashion, turned on gale force winds and a load of rain, and very cold, so the radio gear was left in the car.
BobCORRESPONDENT
On a positive note, I'm learning how to best pack the portable gear in my new this year car, which has less room than the previous vehicle.

Eric HofferGUEST
I mean, I've talked to a couple guys, but they're always...
