Comments:
My friend Jeff N7DS and I operated from the cabin near La Pine in Central Oregon
as we have done for the past dozen years or so. We alternate callsigns each
year. The wx was perfect: low 70's during the day, no rain or electrical
disturbances.
We have evolved to a set-up that works well for us. A Spiderbeam 250' out in
the woods covers 20-15-10, a 40M Inverted-Vee end-to-end with Spidey works with
minimal interference and an 80M Inverted-Vee close to the cabin gives us 5 bands
to play in.
Indoors, we use a triplexer with Spidey, a BP filter for each band and a full
set of coax stubs which eliminates the last of any inter-station interference
(credit to George W2VJN).
Jeff ran 20M most of the time and I wandered around the other bands with a bit
of time on 20 Saturday evening. The bands were not that hot IMHO, but there was
always a band open somewhere (Jimmy Buffet playing in my head!) so the fun was
non-stop and I had some great runs on 40 and 80.
I bet Jeff prior to the event (I didn't say "contest") that I would
even work a handful of Q's on 15 (seemed unlikely at the time) and ended up with
113 -- so I have a quart of ice cream in my future!
Tnx for the steady stream of Q's (and to Jeff for handling the cooking). Listen
for us next year as NE7D -- did I just self-spot?
73,
Rock NE7D
