Equipment used: IC-706, GAP Voyager, Spider vertical
Power: 100W
Hours of operation: about 19 hrs
Comments: Operated about 100ft offshore from the Salton Sea on a jetty;
it was a great groundplane for the verticals. Set a personal alltime
best QSO count. 10 was really hopping; 15 was the money band. Had some
good runs on both, and a 59 hour. 20 was very "fuzzy" and noisy
throughout the contest. Was a real hoot operating in a fairly rare
county. My little "stationette" got a good workout.
Highlights: having a Norweigian county hunter ask ME for a QSL card;
getting called by YC9WZJ, giving a sweep to AB5SE, finishing the contest
with 5 QSOs in the last minute.
