This year we went out a pair with Glenn KE6HPZ running the
backseat radios from 220 to 10 GHZ while I ran the bread and butter bands 6 and
2 meters. Paul N6DN teamed up with Steve AD6HT as we zoomed across central and
southern California. As of this writing the scores are not published so we have
to wait to see how we did.

It wouldn't be a contest without in the field repairs. Here Steve is working on Paul's 3GHz radio while the rest of us hit Starbucks. |

Looking inside Wayne N6NB truck we see why we can hear him everywhere. Killowatt Amps. |

Wayne can't believe he worked Paul on 5 GHz with this as Paul's only 5 gig antenna |

Paul's N6DN uses the PVC approach to antenna mounts, This makes for a quick setup and tear down. |
