Same thing on many (not all!) of those SOTA peaks. I keep giving 599's to
stations that I know would only be 339's to me at home.

I did much the same with my KX2 on Santa Cruz Island (part of Channel
Islands, 20 miles off the coast of Ventura) two weeks ago. Definitely

A group of us activated Alpine County for the Cal QSO Party for 10+
years. We gave up when we realized we were way too old to be that
isolated, and we were tired of getting beat up by the weather. Our camp
was about 2 km south of the summit of Monitor Pass, at about 8,500 ft.

Yes <3 This is what it was like when living off the grid in Michigan’s Upper
Peninsula years ago. Now, living in Seattle, it is only during occasional
off-grid campouts that my KX2 gets to do this as well! Tnx fer the story
Bravo Wayne - great story with a great moral. Thanks for reminding us to get
out of the shack and enjoy this great country! Catalina is a great place to do
so ...

When we lived in SoCal, we used to spend just
about every summer weekend at the Isthmus or

did the backstay antenna thing).
Wish Elecraft was around back then

Last week my family and I went to Avalon, Catalina Island, off the coast of
southern California. What an awesome place! It feels like a coastal tourist
paradise in another country, except that it’s just 26 miles from Long Beach.
Definitely a bucket-list item.
