Team captain Ken-W6HHC takes a turn on 20M
SSB while Chris-KJ6ZH logs. 20M propagtion turned out be much better than expected (even
though there were ZERO sunspots that week-end). Europe rolled in at midnight with S9
signal strength. |

The OCARC's seven-year-old generator (L)

genertator/trailer ...just in case |
