W6AW
We operated from a commercial AM Broadcast site in Sacramento. The station went off the air at sundown, and returned at sunup, which limited our participation to evenings only. We loaded up a single 320 ft tower for transmit, and used a loop antenna for receive. We used an old AIRSTREAM trailer as our operating platform (Much more comfortable than the unheated transmiter building). Sorry we couldn't hear many of the stations that heard us, but our noise level (even with the loop antenna) was pretty bad at times. We look forward to December, 2006. -- WB6RVR
