After stuffing and stacking, there was actually still enough room for N3ND to drive the vehicle down to the dock.

Enjoying the boat ride

The breeze on theoperating shack porch was steady and refreshing all weekend long. The 807's didn't hurt.

The nearest of the two cabins held both stations, the far shack was for snoozing.

Little generator that could had its own hidey hole.

The mult K3

Early run on SSB, N4YDU hunting for mults on second radio. W4KAZ running US stations on sideband during the mid day lull between the morning and evening openings to Europe.

K2AV opened 40m CW during the contest on Saturday evening, and had our two best hours.

Dan having some fun running on 20m

W4KAZ sending text messages to the XYL instead of hunting mults.

K2AV brought his K2 along for some rx experimentation. Here we are listening down between the dunes and the ocean.

Grand Tetons?

K2AV and N4YDU heading back to the shack past the mult antenna. The mast is 18 feet of aluminum topped with 11 feet of fiberglass mast.

The run station was equipped with a 40 foot(12.2m) mast. The mast is topped with a pair of 56 foot(17.1m) doublets that are at right angles to one another, and fed with 450 ohm window line. The window line ran to 4:1 baluns and were tuned using the K3's internal tuner. These antennas worked well at the 40 foot height.

For the contest the mult station used a "what's up there now?" antenna. It transitioned from an 80m dipole, to a 20m one wavelength vee beam, to a shorter doublet. The legs kept moving around too.

The breeze kept feedline billowing for most of the weekend.

W0UCE engineered a dangly device, which we put to use on the main mast.

Antennas dangling from the dangly device.

One of the iterations of the mut antenna was to convert it into another 56 foot(17.1m) doublet, with extra wire on the ends. Theantenna was lowered to attach extra wire to extend operation down to 80m.

On Saturday afternoon the wind shifted to being from the southwest, and picked up in intensity. Sand was blowing down the beach - the photo doesn't do it justice.
