Topband: 3B7A

[Wes Stewart]

The problem will be getting him to hear you.  I was calling in a pile on 20 SSB 
yesterday when he announced that they had another station coming up at 18130.  I 
doubt that anyone else heard that, considering the out of control mob.   I tuned 
up there and he was calling CQ at a solid S7 on my K3S.  He announced he was 
listening up 5.  As soon as he did I started calling, and calling and 
calling...  He answered no one for what seemed a long time until he was spotted 
and then he answer a few guys, obviously hearing them with considerable difficulty.

Boggles my mind that they went on a major expedition with (AFAIK) unproven 
equipment.
