Comments:

Ended up as a single op as AA4FU couldn't make it so only put in about 16 
hrs.
QSO's are tough and runs are tougher QRP but at least the score adds up
quickly! Disabled the pickup and other equipment to find enough batteries to
bring into the shack to feed the Orion beast for the duration (which pulls 
+3A
rx and about 6A tx key down at 5W). In a real emergency I think I'd start 
the
generator ;-)

Great to work so many PVRC'ers at different sites. Maybe my "burn-out" with 
FD set up/take down will be over by next year!

73,

Jim, K4QPL
