Which is why we Midwesterners are always at a disadvantage against you
brethren in the Rockies and the Appalachians -- on two scores:
1) Height above sea-level is greater on a mountaintop than in a corn
field (didn't know that, did you).
2) Temperatures are cooler and humidity is lower on a mountaintop than
in a corn field (another revelation).
But we like challenges.
On occasion, a buddy and I have been known to win QRP multi-op honors
from prairie picnic tables on blistering summer afternoons, and a decade
or so ago saw our club win 3rd in the nation in a similar QRP 1A Battery
Field Day.
But who's bragging. Fun has many definitions.

I strongly agree.We've operated FD many times from mountaintops and
won QRP 1A Battery. It's like having a VERY VERY tall tower.
