That would have been Grant/KZ1W, who organized the trip and does SSB/FT8.
Rob/N7QT does the CW and is _very_ good. Both are members of Western WA DX
Club and are great fellows. They're packing up and coming home on Thursday.
It's been a REALLY wet trip for them; there were delays in getting the low band
receive antennas up, since the local boys couldn't safely climb the slippery
trees in the rain/wind. I was fortunate to work Rob the first night (my
morning) they were on TB, then Grant the next night on digital. There was also
no Internet access, so back-channel comms were limited to Rob's Garmin InReach.
