It was a superb outing, the weather was perfect and the 25 miles of dirt road into our DN67 location had just been graded. Six Meter FT8 Es was excellent with several sustained coast to coast opening for 305 contacts. 2M meteor scatter was pretty slow, 10 contacts total, but a few were out to 1100 miles. Not bad for simple Yagis and no more than 100 watts. LoTW has been fed.
