We decided to demonstrate Don's idea of using 80m NVIS as a backup if VHF simplex didn't work, which it didn't. NVIS worked beautifully. We actually worked Matthew in Blue Lake as well. Sure nice to have had the HF portable and Dipole events recently to help us all get our kit in order.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">All for now,</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"> We hope you enjoyed the pictures and report.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Cheers,</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Anthony<br></div></div></body></html>
