Comments:
Rig: K3, P3, KPA500, KAT500, Winkeyer, N1MM+
Antennas: Hexbeam at 50 ft on a trailer tower, OCF dipoles at 60 and 75 feet.
High points: Gary NA60 joining the team. Getting a clean sweep, with ND finally
calling in the last hour. Watching the tree cutters and experiencing the
periodic earthquakes each time one of the giant beetle-infested pines crashed
to earth in a huge cloud of dust. NA6O got a real thrill near the end of the
contest when a pileup exploded on 20 CW. The rate went over 200 but... What's
with all these dupes? A glance at the bandmap explained it. We were spotted as
(fictitious) K6G. A quick QSY solved the problem but it sure was fun for a
couple minutes.
Low points: The KPA500 died 4 hours into the contest, so we completed as high
power even though we were barefoot most of the time. At 4 AM on Sunday, Windows
decided it was time to do an update. N1MM simply disappeared, right in the
middle of a run, and it took 15 minutes to restart (nice time to go
stargazing).
