Paul AA1SU seems to be stealing GOTA airtime from Leslie KC9CDJ. Jeff KB1IWK is smiling because he just picked up Radio Moscow. Katie KB1LAY contemplating her next move on VHF while brother Jeff N1YWB watches the action.
Here is a very rare photo of SM Paul AA1SU with his eyes actually open! (barely) Doug AB1T just done from a blazing CW shift and Carl AB1DD looking for the next GOTA operator.
The GOTA, VHF, Packet, SSTV and everything else station. That's a lot of antennas for the GOTA station: 5 elements on 6, 3 element tribander, duoband vertical and a hidden 2 meter whip!
Howie K2MME shows us how to relax between shifts. Ooooooh Nooooo! It's the unknown contester... reading QST, no less!
