Ken - I caught you on FT8 (6m). Didn't see Calli, unfortunately.
I had a QSO with Chris on San Clemente Island via 2m FM and 70cm FM (and a QSO with them on 6m FT8). They seemed clearer and louder on 70cm than on 2m. I did 2m/70cm from my home in Winchester Canyon using my Comet CX-333 vertical on roof. FT8 was via Yagi atop UCSB engineering roof.
Calli - did you work San Clemente via SSB 6m? I was hoping to but had technical problems with remoting microphone and didn't hear them SSB anyway.
How'd you guys do on 220 and 1.2? (Did you get San Clemente on both)?
Would love to see your logs.

Hi folks:
Cali and I operating the VHF contact this weekend from East Camino Cielo. My vehicle is on the let and it has two, 28 element 1296 MHz yagis, one 10 element 2-meter yagi and one 10 element 440 yagi. Callie worked 220 from a hand-held and he used a 6 meter dipole for voice and FT8. Ken Owen, N6KTH https://www.qrz.com/db/N6KTH
