Comments:

A BIG thank you to Tree and his family for the invitation to hang out at the
Boring estate. My 13 year old son came with me and found plenty to do while his
dad played radio.
I brought my new K3 to combine with Tree's for my first SO2R operation since
the 2002 IARU from K7RAT. The radios worked very well as did the extensive
antenna farm that Tree has been cultivating. It was fun to be LOUD. 

Highlights:
A limitless number of zone 29/30/31 calling on 20.
Real QSOs on 10 and 15!!
Being called by A71A, 9M6, YB, HS, KG6DX to name a few.
Getting called by my buddy XE1KK for a multiplier.
Using the K3's diversity receive on the low bands.
Watching my son use a chain saw for the first time on a recently felled cedar.
Enjoying Oregon's clean air and majestic scenery.

I did manage to stay awake the full period,though technical difficulties kept
me off the air for a coule of hours. I realize there is a big difference
between awake and functional, hi!

Although I "get" the general idea of SO2R I remain fully impressed by those of
you who can really use it to advantage.
Thanks for the QSOs.
73, David N6AN
