Thanks to all who worked me from the DO21/DO31 line yesterday evening - it was a busy but enjoyable pass. My apologies to N6SPP and KA4H who were both working from portable locations as well! Unfortunately Eric didn't hear most of the calls directed his way :-(

I was operating from my truck (photo posted on twitter) using the mobile radio and ATAS antenna for TX. RX consisted of the UHF side of an arrow with my Alinco DJ582 HT. One lesson learned is that I would have been better off using the VHF side of the arrow for TX because as SO-50 dropped to 5 or 6 degrees to the SE I was able to jump up onto the roof of my topper and extend RX for a minute, but the TX no longer had line of sight.

I had also tried FO-29 just before the SO-50 pass with no successful contacts (half duplex is not conducive to the scenario)

Here are the stations I was able to work (12 on 1 pass is probably a personal best!): WA7HQD WC7V KL7XJ K6FW K6YK N6UK N6SPP K8YSE W5CBF WA5KBH AA5PK KA4H

I also heard N4UFO and NX9B call me at the end but couldn't TX back in at that point.

The QSO's have all been uploaded to LoTW.

73! Bill VE6WK
