Comments:

Another very enjoyable CQP.  Once again the K6Z Crew ventured into the Alabama Hills of Inyo County with the primary goal of having a good time with our Ham Radio friends.  Success!  This was our 10th Inyo County Expedition, 5 at Fossil Falls and 5 in the Alabama Hills.

This year we brought out four AB-577 military surplus masts and set up four K3 stations with homebrew Yagis on 10M, 15M and 20M.  We used a 40-2CD on 40M and wires on 80M and 160M.  Amplifiers consisted of two KPA-500’s, one AL-1200 and one LK-500ZB.  N1MM was used for logging.  For the most part everything worked as planned.  We did need to fix a cold solder joint in the AL-1200 during the contest.

One of our regular crew members (K6VR) couldn’t make it this year so my newly licensed XYL Jennifer (K6ZED) joined us.  This was her first semi-serious contest effort and she did well racking up 555 QSO’s on 40M SSB.  She’s hooked!  For 35 years she had no interest in Ham Radio and then decided to get her license to surprise me for my birthday last year.  Since then she has gotten her Extra, earned DXCC and gotten interested in Contesting.  Go figure.

Thanks for all the QSO’s and thanks to the NCCC for sponsoring the CQP.

73, Bob K6ZZ for the K6Z Crew
