No planning ahead for this, just a last minute deal (I was suppose to be on call
for that weekend). Stan and Kevin not only allowed me to operate from their
station, but they did everything to help me get going. Equipment used was an
Icom Pro 3, MicroKeyer II, and a desktop computer with Writelog/MMTTY. I tried
to have my equipment ready to go, but pilot error in the middle of the contest
cost me a couple of hours. There is much to learn at this station about when
the best time for band propagation and when to switch antennas. The mountain
prop is much different up there compared to here in the River Valley. Stan's
antennas do work great! The window I was next to you could just sneak a peek
at the 40m beam against some of the prettiest countryside you will ever see.
It took a while for me to get the hang of using their beverages and antenna
switch boxes. I hope to get to try this again some day. It is very hard to
stop thinking about the contest and being at K5GO's. This reminds me of my
first Field Day many years ago. Many thanks for everyone involved and hanging
in there with me. I can't thank Stan and Kevin enough for their help and use
of their station!! 73 de w5jay/jay..
