2021 FM Portable Operations Challenge

Great time operating on Hogback Mountain yesterday for the FMH Portable Operations Challenge!! While I hoped/planned to spend several hours on site, I only had about 30 min. I never rank on these contests for numbers of contacts. But I did win second place last here for distance in km per watts.  

Here's what I did in 15 minutes of operating on one watt:


That's quite a spread.....  And yup, that's Christian (F4WBN) in France at 6266 km/watt. These handful of contacts were all on 20M using CW. Nearly all these stations are regular SOTA "chasers." I know their callsigns well.
