Coffee, a sturdy shelter, comfy lawn chairs, and lots of pizza, burgers and water are paramount.  Operating is fun.  W5WX is a phonetic tongue-twister.  You never know who will show up at a GOTA station.  Having a camper with a bed and heater is a plus.  Drones are cool.  Mysterious interference is frustrating.  Next time will be even better!

Adair KD5DYP reported:  “We ended up with 400 CW QSO’s (Thanks Doug Speer!) and 682 phone QSO’s for a total of 1482 QSO points.  Claimed score is 2964.”
