K5PA and XYL AD5HP operated Class 1B located West of Fredericksburg, Texas. We setup at the Hillside Cabin operating Class 1B. Antennas included the Optimal Buddipole and a 31 foot vertical for 40/15 meters. Lessons learned this year were to take spare antenna elements and transceivers to recover from failures. We de-installed the HF mobile rig (Icom 7000) in order to keep the contacts going. Otherwise, it would have been a short FD. Propagation started poorly but gathered steam later in the day and evening. We both had a lot of fun and plan to participate next year.
