[MRCA] KW2K and K2AJR - Portable Ops From Mt. Washington

[KA1LHZ]

Make sure it's a STRONG antenna, whatever it is. N1GBB and I went up
there to work from the parking lot for a Sept VHF contest. I used a 6
meter beam on a mast and operated from the warmth of the car. A gust of
wind hit the car and I thought someone had backed into me, it was that
hard. The antenna was fine with the wind but there's a reason the
buildings up there are concrete bunkers. It does get a bit breezy...
