09/13/2005 | KU4BP/4 Operated as Single Op Portable from the Blue Ridge Parkway in Northwest North Carolina, EM96kk.

Rig: Icom 706MKIIG 10 watts out
Antenna: 2m, 8 elements at 10 feet; 70cm, 8 elements at 10 feet

Ran 8 hours Sunday morning and conditions were AWESOME. Everyone in this area had a pipeline to the northeast. I could not generate any runs but was able to work alot of stations from up there.

Best DX: WB1GCR FN33

Other notables: K1TEO FN31, KA2LIM/2 FN22, KA1ZE/3 FN01, K3YTL FN11,
K2TXB FM29, K3EAR FM19, WC4J FM18, K8GP FM08 AND KG4HOT FM07.

Remember this was with only 10 watts so this gives you an idea of the conditions we had.

The picture doesn't show my antenna for 432 Mhz. I had to take it down because of a connector problem and didn't have the tools to fix it.
