Dragon Mountain Expedition

 

 

Our hillside vantage point for the TI9M contact attempt. The IC-706 is hooked up and the quad is nearly ready for mounting. Meanwhile, Carol finds an ideal spot to make art.
Keko putting together the pieces of the 3 element quad for our contact which we complete on the first call! We think we were the only tropospheric VHF contact with TI9 during their expedition.
