Hiders: Jippy WB6JPI
It seams Jippy just had to hid something, and I just had to hunt something.
Bob did a good job hiding but I didn't do so well at finding.
This is his story:
There were two of them. One was running "WB6JPI T 2"
beddledebeep on a 30 second repeat. The other was running
about the same thing on a 45 second repeat and longer
beedles. They are about 5 miles apart by air. They both were
line of site to the start, both were H-pol.
The 45 sec one (T1) was 100 mW into 1/2
wave rubber duck horiz pol located at the locked gate of the
Children's Forest on Keller peak road (1N96). The other one
(T2) was an AF6O box running 3 watts into a 1/2 rubber duck
about 1/2 mile south of the 1N09 and 1N16 about 3000 ft
under Keller and 5 miles SW. The PV repeater took 50 dB of
attenuation from both spots on the car beam so I assumed it
would be good at the start. T2 came on a 9AM and T1 at 10:05
AM. The inversion layer was fierce Saturday. At 8 AM there was
no marine layer and no sign of an inversion, but by 10:30 I
couldn't even see saddleback for the smog layer.

As for me:
I found NOTING, NOTHING, NOTHING.
I did do allot of driving around highway 330 and 18. I even
tried to get to Keller peak but couldn't find the right road.
I have been told there is a paved one going there but
I couldn't find it.

I did hear something on the 91 going east.
I received this from David N6IDF:
I had a T running about 5 watts thru a 13b2 for about
12 hours on Saturday.... No one found me though..
Could have been because of all the idiots on the
frequencies calling CQ!
