Had great fun in the sprint despite lackluster tropo.
Activity was excellent for such a contest here in the
Pacific Northwest....
Speaking of rare grids: There has been some discussion
locally about setting up stations in DN02 in the future.
Much of the land is privately owned, most of the
mountains in that region have no roads to the top and the
ones that do aren't all that splendid.
Other issues are that the area is incredibly remote, ie
nearest towns are sometimes hundreds of miles from an
operating point.
However, research is being conducted into the feasibility
of getting the rarest grid in the Continental US on the
air!!!
