Members met in the Lounge and set up Eric's KX3 go kit radio to participate in the annual contest. Konstatin also set up his Icom 7300 with a vertical whip antenna. Together we were able to operate on two bands. The KX3 was using the OCF antenna permanently installed at the arena on the 15m band. The KX3 was on 20m. Later we switched bands around with the KX3 going on 10m and then 20. The 7300  moved onto 15m and then 10. It was a fun time trying a few different configurations. Signals were mixed, some stations were coming in very well though many were quite weak. We could hear a number from across the country that were stronger than Californian stations.

It was a fun event and we made a fair number of contacts.
