My Ham Radio field Day set up. It is a old trailer tent redesigned for hauling antennas. It has a tilting mount on the back for safely raising antenna mounting poles as high as 40 feet.

I was running the HF bands with a yaesu 897D. We were running on generator power. I placed the generator in front of the truck and it was very quiet at the radio operating positions.
