Comments:

I think this hole is getting deeper. That was tougher than any of my QRP
operations, save the one from that Utah canyon. Lots of loud, usually
responsive operators just couldn't hear me at all.  As far as I could tell, 100
Watts were coming out of the radio, but going nowhere.  I think conditions were
pretty good, though 40 started long and got longer. I expect there was lots of
activity on 160, but I didn't bring that much wire. 

It's been interesting, but it seems my favorite desert camping spots are poor
for radio operating. At least there are no mosquitoes, and it's a lot warmer in
December than Michigan. 

Should be home next week.
