[SCCC] N6WT CQP Update

[Kent N6WT]

Hi all

I am preparing for CQP this year. Oct 7-8

 As you may or may not know, last year I drove the motorhome to Kings
County and setup in a turnout on the side of Highway 41 at the top of a
mountain pass. There were a couple of problems with this spot. It was in a
small bowl, and it was on a turn in the Highway, so if a car lost control
it would hit me. I was not comfortable there.

Last year I only made 317 Q's. I had to quit early because of a migraine.

I drove my truck to the area yesterday to find a new spot. I found one. I
will still be on the side of Highway 41 but closer to Kettelman City. This
turnout is across from the turnoff to the dump. It is far enough off the
highway that I feel comfortable, and it is in an area with views to the
north, south and east. I think I can setup the BuddieHEX next to the
motorhome. I plan on being there for the entire contest. I did contact the
CHP, they said I could be there for 72 hours before they would tow me.

Over the next week, I plan on testing everything here at home to see if it
still works.

I am looking for an 80-meter antenna solution. Does anyone have any ideas??
I have a large area in the turnout but I can't get it in the air very high.

I have reserved the call N6K.

Thanks
