My dad and I have been participating in this for a bit (he's the actual operator, I just log stuff), and it's been pretty fun. Gotten me out to local places I hadn't been before despite living here nearly 30yrs. Our setup isn't really all that fancy, he takes one of his normal radios and with the help of some kind of special adapter, connects it directly to one of those big 12v deep cycle marine batteries. Antenna wise we have this triple magnet mounting thing that we drop on the top of his truck, and one of us (meaning me) screws one of several different band specific Ham sticks. We usually just stick to 20m because that seems to be where most people are. Logging is usually just me writing stuff down manually on a legal pad, but this last time he found a logging app that seemed to support POTA specifically so we just used that on a laptop connected to my phone's hotspot feature.
