9200 feet up on Sedgwick Peak DN42, Wow what a location, fabulous view and snow covered peaks. John Wilson K0IP invited me to come out and visit him and help with the contest. We loaded the AWD Astro van and headed up the 10 mile unimproved boulder strewn path up the mountain. Lucky we were almost at the top before we had the right rear tire blew out. Even with that delay we set up our 6, 2 and 432 Yagis and were ready for the pile ups, sorry to say the propagation was not very good. We did have an enjoyable time making State wide Qs with a few short sporadic openings to California, Utah and Texas. Here are a few pictures. 73 Bruce W4OV -- W4OV
