07/29/2003 | K2ZR Class 1A - Battery QRP. Equipment: K2, FT-817, big horizontal loop @ 30' average height, 3/2 wave dipole on 40m @ about 60', 6m dipole @ 60' and verticals for 2m and 440. Operators were K2QO, K2YW, K2ZR and N2CU.

Another great FD from the Buffalo Lighthouse on the US Coast Guard Base. We had great support from the USCG. There were loads of highlights including N2CU's first ever QSO on 6M. It was a dandy as CO0US called us. Near the end of the exercise, a rainstorm with thunder and lightning blew in. N2CU and K2QO had to sprint to their cars when sparks began flying off the coax! This kept us off the air for a 1/2 hour and caused us to miss our 600 QSO goal on HF. -- N2CU
