 The CQP 2008 Kings County Expedition "Odd Couple" (K6VVA & NI6T)  All the equipment "Miraculously" fit onto the small table in the room  Garry/NI6T kicking some CQP Butt (or calling CQ, CQ, CQ ...)  Fortunately neither the backup rig & PS or First Aid kit were needed  Aerial view site plan of our antenna farm at the motel ("X" = The Shack)  Enhanced inverted vee wires view from a ground perspective  Enhanced inverted vee wires view from a ground perspective II  The creative workaround after 4+ hours of troubleshooting  A bit ugly but ya gotta do what ya gotta do sometimes  The Sigma 5 ended up not being used but was on "Stand-By"  Garry's soldering skills were constantly in demand  The non-resonance problems were completely "baffling" ;-(  Garry was our technical "Rock" for the expedition  And our chief ladder climber putter upper guy  The other anchor point for the 80m inverted vee  This garbage area fence secured one 40m wire end  The other end went to an upstairs balcony railing  Our outdoor manual coax switching system  Under the motel office doormat & off toward the "shack"  Through the side gate to the "shack" window  Fortunately we had parking right in front of the "shack"  The "Handicapped" sign on the door seemed appropriate for us :^)  Damage from a previous attempted break-in to Room 130  Official Chocolate of the Kings County Expedition  Official Restaurant Menu of the CQP 2008 Kings County Expedition  My favorite photo of our trip --- The Kings County "CQP TROLL" :^) 73...
