OPERATORS: NG7Z and XYL Marilyn as the logger
This was a first time experience doing a major contest as a portable
operation.
My wife and I left early Sat morning for Orcas Island in the San Juan
islands.
Our operating site was located at the top of Mt. Constitution elev 2409 feet.
We arrived around 11AM and set up the station and by 11:37 we were on the
air.
She logged as I called out the callsigns and exchanges. Now, my wife is not
familiar with phonetics so I carefully repeated each call and exchange so
she'd
get it right. I am very proud of her and grateful that she accompanied me.
Conditions were fair at the mountain summit and not as bad as we had
expected.
Temperature never got above 50F and it didn't rain as expected. The "shack"
was in the back seat of our Saturn Vue SUV and she sat in the driver's seat
dutifully carrying out her job. I had planned on operating phone also but
forgot
to bring a mic so I figure we missed at least 25 more contacts. Nevertheless
127 contacts was a nice figure for the limited time we had. She was getting
tired around 6:30PM so we broke down the station and headed back to the ferry
dock. Got home around 1030PM and we immediately crashed. It was a nice outing
for us and we enjoyed the experience.
