I'm assuming that you were at the house on the hill that Noah owns with 
a group. I operated from there a year or so ago, and helped string a 
Beverage along the road running down into Rincon. It worked pretty well, 
BUT -- one of the MPs that was there was very low on RX gain, and when 
used with that radio was pretty deaf on 160M.  After the contest, I gave 
Noah a detailed rundown of the problem.

I worked you, but it wasn't easy.  I also worked K4BAI from there about 
six months ago.  BTW -- I still need a 160M card (or LOTW Q) from PJ4.
