It wasn’t the longest contact ever but I did manage Washington state from San Diego last weekend. running 2 watts into a WRC antenna from the QRP-Labs QDX.

    I really want a super small laptop or touchpad I can SOTA with to FT8 when I hike.

      Check out the microsoft surface tab. With Linux they are wonderful, but if you are a windows user they are pretty awesome there too.

        I’d be torn between windows and linux for radio purposes. For work, it’s linux all day, but most of my logging and digital needs are windows apps. I’d also be interested in a small android device for hikes. A cell phone would lighten the load quite a bit.
