Titlow Park by W7UUU

Worked Russ, WA6TLK from Titlow beach on 146.52 simplex at 20:10 UTC, 2/20/16 UTC running about 3 watts just to the rubber duck (forgot the portable beam mast!). Had to move around a bit to find the right spot to keep him. Beautiful February day with a wonderful view from the beach and out to the Tacoma Narrows Bridges. Called quite a bit but no other takers. Next time out, it's again with the 10-element beam but this time with a 35-watt amplifier as well.
