Comments:

I left my home QTH for the 300 mile drive to Mammoth Lakes in Mono county on the
Monday before the CQP.  To make the drive more interesting, I decided to do
three Parks on the Air (POTA) activations along the way.  Even though it added
about 1.5 hours to the drive, it made the time go by faster.  On Tuesday, the
skies were blue and the temperature was in the low 70's.  Perfect to launch my
dipoles and an inverted V, all at about 50 ft in the pine trees.  Once the
contest started, it was great to see that 10 and 15 Meters were going to be
productive.  One highlight was, after only about one hour into the contest,
getting called by VY1CO who gave me his #16 for the NT section. That gave me a
good feeling about getting a sweep. As it turned out, I had at least two QSOs
from every section and completed the sweep in record time after only 4 hours.  I
was hoping to improve on my last year’s all-time best score, but fell short by
about 30 QSOs.  Thanks to Hank, W6SX (we are about one-half mile apart in
Mammoth) for helping share the bands between our two HP stations during CQP. 
With my new K4 it was easier not to hear his signal, even when he was close by
on the same band. And, many thanks to the NCCC for sponsoring another great
CQP!

73, Jim W6ML (W6KC)
