Pt. 7740 (W6/NS-189) SOTA Activation 8/7/2012

Off to the races I go. The bands were in good shape and signals were stronger than in past activations. I made a total of 21 QSOs on 20 and 40m CW. When I first showed up on 40m after being on 20m, this is how things went:

Me: QRL?
Someone: SOTA?
Me: DE KU6J GM ELLIOTT U R 5NN...

Yup, I didn't have to call CQ and Elliott didn't even need to send his callsign. I knew it was him based on signal strength and the speed he had his keyer set at. :-)
