My operating style is never highly competitive ... I find a picnic spot with a handy tree (and, maybe, a good view), setup and then call CQ while checking the reverse beacon network to see if anyone might hear me. During this trip I was on both 20 and 30 meter CW working both coasts and as far south as MO. Along the way I also got to talk about ham radio to curious passers-by that happened to notice the wire in the tree and the techie looking gizmo on the table.

I have the same issue working 'roadside /P' on holiday in Europe. I can, and don't mind, explaining what I'm doing in French or Spanish, but this last trip, when asked what I was doing, I just told them I was a spy. That quickly sorts out which of them has a sense of humour. Perhaps I should also learn to like prison food!! Nigel GJ7LJJ
