Sketchy at best? 1000 QSO in 24 hours in the mountains on 70cm-160m ranging from 1/4 mile to a crossed the gloab tells me this isn’t true.

You read correct. I just spent the week up at Jubilee Lake and we were kicked out… southerner Blues are still open (South of I-84). I will probably be running up Spring Creek Road, or playing around on Mount Emily next weekend.
