Dave just set a new North American 24 GHz distance record of 166 miles on July 5, 1997 & won first place in the 1996 10 GHz & UP microwave contest!

A rare shot of the "hair" taken while on Heaps Peak for the 1997 microwave contest. Dave was working K6GZA & W6ASL in the San Francisco area at the time. 10 Watts, 4 foot dish, 10 Hertz stability and 1 db noise figure. If it can be worked, Dave will do it.

Another shot of Dave 10 & 24 GHz gear. Heaps Peak 1997 contest.

Dave has the distinction of having to longest hair of any microwaver in Southern California, maybe the USA! Don't know if that's why his signal on 10 & 24 GHz is always so loud or not.
