I put the location it on Google Earth &#8211;you can see how we did. On to the summit next time! <br \/>Speaking of summits, I only made two contacts with the HW-8 this weekend (from the house, not the mountain). The first was a contest station on 20 meters, UN9GD. But the second (also on 20) was a QRP &#8220;Summit on the Air&#8221; station. DK1HW\/P was running four watts from a KX-1. It was nice to work another QRP station.
