Here's a quick video tour of my VHF FM setup from a recent SOTA activation. The antenna is a wire double extended zepp, tuned for 146.520mHz. I hang it vertically from a carbon fiber 12' pole with a piece of cord tensioning the antenna wire to the ground to keep it straight. When I want more power, I bring the Mirage B34 amplifier with a 2200 mAh LiPo 11.1V battery to feed it. The setup works great and has made numerous 150+ mile contacts.
