We felt puny this year, just couldn't get any good runs going. There may
have been a problem with the main antenna, the "Ugly Vertical". Wx was
good for the most part, but hotter than blazes! One brief squall Sunday
morning sent us scrambling for a tarpaulin to keep the rain off the
gear. Couple of highlights: Seven Q's via the RS-12 satellite and one
QSO to test my new Wilderness Radio SST-20 (Simple SuperheT) which I will
take backpacking next month. Sleeping was rough after our queen size air
matress lost its air. We spread air mattresses out on picnic tables
under our shelter, but a little rough on the back. Stopped on Marathon
on the return trip for some "celebration ice cream". A fairly successful
event, but room for improvement next year...
