A group of us Frogs trekked up to Avery, Ca to set up the station very warm temperatures prevailed. It was essential to provide shade and hydration for the group. Band conditions were not exceptional so a keen ear and several call outs were needed on many of the stations logged in. Perseverance was in order which this group had no shortage of, equally our Fellowship between each other kept this Perseverance spirit!
Our diary of the day is written on the photos below.

A favorable forecast gave us the green light to set up a station in Avery, Ca. Below are Mark N6IV, Walt K6WGY and Mike KB6USJ the outing photographer(not pictured). Propagation especially on 15 M kept us busy logging stations from the mid west to eastern parts of the country. When the operation was completed the group of three came away high spirited. Not bad working 100 watts and a dipole.
