We started up on a hill top where the California Condors hang
out. Hopefully we didn't fry any of them as they flew overhead.
We were able to squeeze 4 hams and 5 radios into my Ford
Excursion or out Saturday outing. After a while on the Hilltop Steve W6QIW
joined us making 5 hams (no eggs) to serve the other contesters.
