I have been a Ham since I was 12 years old, also am ARMY MARS member. Love outdoors and spend many weeks each summer guiding in Sierra Nevada on Horseback/Mulepack with Ham Radio along for the ride so often you can work me when I am in QRP portable at over 10,000 feet in the Sierra Nevada. I use all Military type equipment as my company is NVIS Communications/Barrett Communications Consulting check out www.barrettconsultant.com or www.nviscom.com for a complete listing of our HF/VHF Military equipment. You can also see all of our other products at www.nviscom.com. Picture above is from 12,000 feet in Sierra crossing into Yosemite WIlderness from the south coming from Ansell Adams Wilderness along the JMT.  We used to be the US Dist for QMAC before Barrett Communications acquired QMAC. Love to hear from you if you have interest or are using our equipment anywhere in the world.
