Comments:
Our first effort. 2 stations M/M. Got all 58 California Counties (no mults here
though) but missed the real mults by 1 -- somehow never found MT even though
all the hard ones came quickly (NT,MAR,ND,RI,WV).
Dipoles for 80m,40 up in the Redwood trees; sigma for 40; phased array for 20m;
steppir 2 el at 28 feet on mast; 160m screwdriver. 400 watts most of the time
-- had one amp die.
Since the stations weren't networked, numbers started at 1 for each band-mode
per log checker's request. Discovered some interesting writelog errors by doing
this (it resets numbers randomly).
Bands sure died in the middle of the night - rates down to 8 per hour for 2
stations.
Surprised to work a real DELN HF ham in Fort Dick, and a mobile in downtown
Manhattan(NY), and a YB on 15m (that 15m opening both days was outstanding; we
tried 10m at the suggested 2000 utc on Sunday but it wasn't open to us).
This county is a LONG way from our home in Portland/Salem/Eugene Oregon but all
the ops want to do it again next year.
