As normal, I enjoyed the VHF-SS while conditions were below normal here in NE Oklahoma, EM26. Again we operated QRP portable but cut back on the number of bands this year: 6m, 2m, 1.2m, and 70cm. This allowed faster set-up and a little bit larger antennas that could be loaded in the car. The rigs were a IC706 and a 222 DEM. A picture is on QRZ site which we added a 7ele for 2m and a 2ele for 6m this year. No problems other than rain and pea-soup fog both days, and a visit from a local athority to see what I was up to! -- WD5AGO
