the GoKit Challenge on March 21, 2026, at Double Tree Ranch Park in Highland Village, Texas (hosted by Scott, Kelly, and supporting clubs like Lewisville ARA and Lake Area ARA), Tank Radio walks around the event capturing the fun atmosphere with brisket tacos, hot chocolate/coffee, sunny weather, and participants displaying their portable go kits (self-contained, battery-powered setups with radios, antennas, backpacks, tables, Faraday cages, wagons like Radio Flyer, and custom features for POTA, emergency response, public service events like races, or general portable ops).
He highlights diverse setups—including stacked toolkits for QRP/CW, heavy-duty bases with Tank Radio stickers for wind resistance, Jeep/truck mobile rigs with Tarheel/ATOS antennas, scooter configurations, backpack-integrated packs (everything snaps in for quick grab-and-go), and more—while emphasizing the educational peer-sharing aspect (ideas on wiring, batteries, efficiency, and customization), the peer-voting ticket system (competitors/spectators drop votes in cups for winners), and categories: Portable/HF (Hamburg Cup), 50MHz+ (for Tech-class VHF/UHF-focused kits, "Baby Cup"), and Mobile (license plate trophy).
