07/07/2007 | K0IP My first real VHF contest was on 9200 ft.Sedgwick mountain SE of Pocatello Idaho in DN42. John Wilson, K0IP had invited me to join him. We had great scenery however the propagation was very light. We had to travel 10 miles up the mountain on a very rutted bolder strewn path, luckly we were almost at the top when we had our right rear tire blow. We operated 432, 2 and 6 meters.
