meter, etc. * There's no electricity except for a very few generators, so
typical urban noise should be absent. *Joy!

What's the custom for transmitting my I-D? * I think it's "KD6VKW, PORTABLE
ZERO." *It might be "KD6VKW, STROKE ZERO." *I've heard both variations and I
searched for about 20 minutes and only found that in the US I'm apparently
not legally required to transmit anything after my callsign. *It's optional.

I know the county and grid square. *Since some hams hunt counties and grid
squares, should I include either when I call CQ? *Opinions, please.
