Comments:
 
Operated from the summit of Haleakala Volcano in Maui. Just over 10,000 feet
asl. Worked Fred, KH7Y, on the "Big Island." Despite the elevation, not an easy
contact as Fred's path to me was blocked by Mona Loa. He noted my signal was
strongest beaming due north rather than direct path. Another strong station
called me on SSB, but never caught the call.
