Working TDY for two weeks in Wise County, Virginia. Operated QRP at the
Holiday Inn in Norton, VA, parked parallel 10 feet on the northside of a
two-story hotel brick building, surrounded by hills and mountains.
Vehicle pointed ENE.

I was not planning to operate on Saturday; just wanted to check out the
noise level on the various bands. But, at 2350z, I made my first 20cw
QSO with W1DMD before closing stn at 0231z with 24 Q's (20cw, 20ssb,
40cw) on a "scratch" paper log.

FT-897D transceiver operated at 5 watts into a Hustler mobile antenna
system (RM-20 & RM-40 resonators) mounted on a Diamond K-400 near the
top of the left rear door of a 15-psgr club wagon. Rig power provided by
a stand-alone AGM battery. Heil Pro-Set Plus headset. Tigertronics
SignaLink SL-1 sound card radio interface. microHAM USB rig interface.
Dell Latitude laptop powered by a 300-watt inverter. WriteLog 10.53e.
