Larry KG6EG and Chip N6CA had a great time running around trying for some really long haul 10 GHz contacts. We left Thursday morning for Sacramento, spent the next two nights at W6SR Rick WB6OKK Karen's QTH (Thanks for a nice visit!).We tried to work XE2/W6YLZ and XE2/K6DYD in Mexico at around 830 miles but no signals were heard. Maybe next year we'll try again. Of all the places I've roved I really like the Central Valley of California the best. 1060 miles of driving so far in this contest. Next month it's Utah and Nevada. for another 900 miles plus.

 KG6EG  The new 4 footer out for the first time operating from the QTH of KI6CG....Thanks George!
