      wa6uap     CM97     Pat           San Jose
      kd6ire        CM97     Don         San Jose

      k6hcp         CM97     Ken         Gilroy
      k6mgm      CM97     Denny     San Jose
      w6qiw        DM04     Steve      Santa Barbara
      k6tsk          DM03     Ralph      Anaheim
      w6cro         DM03     Chuck     Norwalk
      w6cyx         CM87     Bob         San Jose
      kc6seh       CM98    John         Broderick
      wa6qak     CM98     Bill             Pollack Pines
      w6izu         CM98     Ken          Diamond Springs
      w6gdm      CM97     Dave        Livermore

Local conditions were good; there was lots of backscatter, and antenna 
aiming was much less of a challenge due to the many strong reflections. This 
did have an adverse effect on the path into the Sacramento Valley, as those 
signals had lots of QSB, and were generally weaker than normal. The long 
paths into DM03/04 were tougher as well, with only short peaks and lots of 
QSB.

On 902, the active stations were KC6ZWT, WA6QAK, W6QIW, AE6EQ, K6IBY and 
myself. Conditions on this band about like 23cm.
