I found a place just 80 miles from my house in Montana where Route 191 dips into Wyoming, there is even a quiet trailhead with ample parking a 1/4 mile back off the road. As a bonus this is Yellowstone Park.
So Joyce and I took the RV and camped nearby to give 70cm EME a shot. Using a single 9wl Yagi, 500 watts, and a Honda generator I worked the following folks during a single moon pass: WA4NJP (-18), OK1KIR (-17), HB9Q (-14), DK3WG (-16), DL7APV (-16), UA3PTW (-19), OK1DFC (-20), UT6UG (-20), LZ1DX (-16), G4RGK (-21), DL9KR (CW 559), UT5DL (-24), DL8GP (-29), UX5UL (-22), OH6UW (-27), K2UYH (-18), and DF3RU (-18 State #50).
Could this be the first EME operating from Yellowstone Park?

| Folks were there waiting for my first CQ! |

| That's DL9KR's awesome CW signal going down the screen. |
