I spent all day climbing this stupid mountain in the middle of nowhere, Nevada just because it happens to be a lot taller than anything else around. #peakbagging #hiking #ultraprominent #nevada #greatbasin #starpeak

10 GHz & 24 GHz operation from Kearsarge today. Best DX was 486km, but the contacts with Mt. Washington bounced off the hills were pretty great too. #amateurradio #microwave #contest #dx #hamradio

And here's the moxon deployed on today's #summitsontheair activation. It's taller than it looks. Contacts included Puerto Rico, Spain, and France. Not great conditions overall but a successful test. #sota #amateurradio #antenna

Gear ready for tomorrow's #sota activation - 10-40m efhw antenna, #elecraft kx2, 10m moxon antenna. I just finished the moxon, so hopefully it works. #amateurradio #summitsontheair

On Thursday, I took the day off to go cross country skiing with Sarah at Waterville. We finally made it up the very steep Beanbender trail, which was once a downhill trail. We used all the techniques - herringbone, side stepping, and carrying our skis in disgust.

Black Manhattan three ways. Averna Amaro (the standard ingredient) was the clear favorite, followed by Amaro di Angostura, and then Amaro Lucano way behind.

Please excuse the messy background.
