[Lance Collister, W7GJ]

Hi Al,

I think you meant Clipperton Island.  If had been on Desecheo, it would have been in 
your 6m log ;-)

I copied Dave from TX5K, but did not complete with him from there.   His single yagi 
with elevation was marginal for 6m EME with a relatively small portable station such 
as mine.  However,  we were both pleasantly surprised to complete when I activated 
KH8 on 6m EME last summer.  That just goes to show that they only sure thing about 6m 
EME is that you won't be successful if you don't try!

GL and VY 73, Lance
