I'm bringing an HF rig to the mountains of Colorado next week. I just
finished assembling a travel kit of dipole elements for 10, 15 and 20. I
have ropes, pulleys, wire elements, baluns, cable, connectors, a tuner, VSWR
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.
