We used one 3 element 6m yagi up 15 feet, two mosley TA33 classic tribanders up 35 feet on AB-577 portable towers, one 80m loop, and two 40m vee beams. All rigs were KX3s. Power was 5w. Battery and solar charged batteries. Software was N1MM+ networked software, Win4K3 Suite, and CW Skimmer. We had one station down for 3 hrs due to a laptop hard drive crash. So, we missed some QSOs there.

Cheers,

Doug/NA1DX
