Um. I rest my case. :-) I think....I did suggest the east approach if those were the directions you were given, eh? Steve? Absolutely. But that was the challenge. After all, I was arriving from the west. Why would I want to go to the east? And....Hope you had a great time at the Field Day! Make any interesting/unusual contacts? We did listen to the pile-up for a few minutes on 20M & 40M, but didn't feel like getting into the fray. Probably the most interesting contact was working W1AW, the headquarters station of the American Radio Relay League (the national Amateur Radio organization). But trying to keep up with 30 WPM Morse Code when you only do it once a year is interesting no matter who you're talking to. Steve Team Tierra Buena
