The VHF 2m Sprint was busy around CN85 on Monday - I worked 14 stations on SSB in about an hour from Cooper Mountain, (Beaverton- SOTA W7O/WV-099).

Just for fun, I had a little McGyver episode when I left a UHF to BNC adapter at home. A bit of other feedline, the clip to a pen, and a twist-tie helped things come together. K7ATN
