Comments:
I had fun participating in the Texas QSO Party from the Windmill Backpack
campsite in Colorado Bend State Park, in San Saba County. This is the same
location I operated from last year.
I used my KD1JV ATS-3 QRP rig, and a CF Zepp.
It was hot this year; and I had some trouble with heat exhaustion. I pulled the
plug at about 12:30 Sunday. Maybe Scott is getting too old for this? Hope not!
I posted a few pictures of my outing at:

Many thanks to everyone for the contacts; I had a ball, and hope that I was
able to provide some of you with a new county.
