Dave NK0E and I with my goats Rooster and Peanut carrying our water and gear spent Friday night on Mt Herman at our favorite hangout! Saturday AM after watching a great sunrise we got up the antennas, set our radios (FT817 and Elecraft K1) and started to prowl the bands. Video tells the story better than I.

My pack goats and I hiked up to a favorite ham radio site for an overnight to operate in a QRP contest. Goats made mischief while I made many contacts using my FT-817 and Buddistick antenna.

Day 3 was bitter sweet as we hiked out to the trail head after 3-days camping. But hamming on the mesa was the pinnacle of our adventure! Guy/N7UN's K1 & 40m sloper yield many QSOs as did my Ft817 and Buddistick. The DX was the real surprise!!

My Goats and I hiked up Mt Herman to watch the Thunderbirds practice their flyovers for the AFA graduation ceremony. We also had fun making several QRP ham radio contacts with the FT-817 and sloper dipole

Adventure Radio Society hosts an annual QRP contest event called Filght of the Bumble Bees. The Bumblebees walk, hike, bike, climb or boat to their sites. Purpose is to encourage outdoor radio activity and have fun. Home stations are welcomed to participate as well. Dave -NK0E, goats and I had a great time!
