I learned about this QTH from Earl K6SE (SK). The terrain to the north
isn't so great (high mountains), but toward CONUS is literally miles of
salty lake bed. Also, it was pretty wet the year I was there (2006)
which I am sure didn't hurt matters. I am glad I wasn't using a balloon
antenna, however, because the winds got so bad Saturday night of the
contest it broke one of the ridge poles on my little operating tent. The
wind then had that broken side of the tent pinning me against the
operating table :-)
