  • It's amazing how hilltops attract ham radio operators during the 10 GHz contest.  While we were on Signal Peak in Orange County, two other carloads of hams showed up, resulting 
in this mini-convention.  Shown here are (from left):  <b>W6XD</b> (standing), <b>N6DN</b> (leaning over his equipment), <b>N9RIN</b> (in the background) and <b>AD6HT</b>.  <i>I'm behind the camera.</i>  Also not in the photo was <b>WA6CDR</b>, who was nearby with his portable six-foot dish.

    a good coastal inversion, t... Read More

    The September contest turned out to be another great weekend, with cooler weather. This time I roved "the coastal route" with Glennnn KE6HPZ, Larry KG6EG and Dick WB6JDH.
