Departure is close. Everything is assembled, powered, and running at home. It has to survive the airline, and I don’t want a pile of bags.

Why this setup
I already run the IC-705 and JUMA PA-1000+ at home. That’s the station coming with me.
The vertical is 40 thru 10 because that’s where CQ WPX SSB actually is, and I won’t have a lot of space at a rental. One mast, dedicated elements, quicker band changes.
What’s left is getting it on the plane.
