Comments:

A front was rolling through Montana, so I appeased the wind gods by spending
Thursday up at the cabin rigging a poor approximation of an inverted 'L'. It
turns out I was just able to fly the balloon vertical and keep it out of the
trees. Friday night was great with 800 contacts and all States except for
Alaska; Saturday was a slog, but I enjoyed seeing just how good the K3's
receiver really is. The 400 Hz roofing filter is amazing! About the same number
of contacts as last year, but multipliers were down. My score should be good
enough to make the low power top ten with the balloon vertical for the forth
year in a row - probably a tribute to the 80 1/4w ground radials out there
under the snow!
