Comments:
I headed to the CN87/CN86/CN97/CN96 grid intersection that provides some
elevation over the Puget Sound region. The contest started at 1,200' on Mud
Mountain, which provided only CN87 until I eventually worked Greg, K7YDL in
CN85.
That was followed by an hour of in-motion QSOs through CN87 to CN86 to CN96 (at
3,200'). Again, I worked all CN87 until 0351, when I found K7YDL again (and
then K0VIZ) in CN85. The next hour was spent moving back and forth between
CN96 and CN86, setting up the rear mast, and working a few people, taking down
the mast, and driving 1/4 mile up or down the road. Rod, WE7X, and Gary,
WA7BBJ/R, both showed up in CN97 during this time. Rod was FM only.
With an hour remaining, I headed back to CN87 (down to about 2,000'), and
worked Rod, WE7X, on FM in CN97 for a new multiplier with 45 min remaining.
At that point I realized, we could work again from CN97 (about 30 minutes
away), so I made a mad dash for Mud Mountain again, arriving and working Rod
with 9 minutes remaining. The last QSO was with my neighbor Doug, AC7T, on CW
with 5 minutes remaining.
Stats:
-- Eleven unique calls worked.
-- Three unique grids worked (CN85, CN87, CN97).
-- One other rover (WA7BBJ/R)
Once again, a most enjoyable sprint and a delightful evening.
