IARU Contest at Knox Mountain
July 2014

This afternoon I hiked to Knox Mtn with my daughter who is visiting from Hawaii. I worked France, Sweden,
Germany,  Russia, Estonia, and Denmark operating for 20 minutes in the IARU contest. We had a great hike.



I brought the KX3 and a 30 foot wire which I threw over a tree branch and used as a vertical. I sat
in the shade in front of the pond and made some quick contacts while Mom and daughter relaxed in
the shade and chatted for a while.  Here's the log:

The propagation was  good, and I felt as if I could make many more contacts. But we had
plans for the evening and headed back after a beautiful visit at the wilderness cabin.
