Another shot of me operating. I ended up making 15 contacts on 20m CW with stations all over the U.S. and Canada. I was only on the air for about 45 minutes total as I wanted to get safely back down off the mountain before the snow softened or it got dark, whichever came first. The "gas ON" ATV rider technique of dealing with snow and ice only works well going uphill. Downhill... not so much. Crawling slowly down the road is the way to go.
