2016 ARRL June VHF Contest

07/08/2016 | K6HS

Due to the extreme fire hazard here in the California Sierras, we weren't able to operate from our usual location at the Blue Mtn. Fire Lookout.  Instead we moved 2 miles down the ridge to a slightly lower hilltop.

We were blessed with a long 2 hop opening on 6m and were able to add dramatically to our grid collection. We also ran gear on 144/220/432/902/1296 and 10 GHz. Unfortunately we didn't find anyone to talk to on 10 GHz.

A nice breeze kept the insects at bay, but the wind really came up Sunday morning and almost blew K6HS's tent away (see  photo!).
