Hi Fernando,

I also live on top of granite, in the Santa Cruz Mountains, five miles 
from the Pacific. I do well on 80M because my tall trees allow me to rig 
horizontal dipoles at about 30m. An important part of ham radio for me 
is learning and using the science of how it works to do better on the air!

Our only QSO was in Feb 2010 ARRL DX around 08Z on 80M. I'm about 3,000 
miles farther from you than Ed is, and my path is through the auroral 
oval. Ed's path is over water.
