Idaho state Co-captain Randy K7TQ and driver Jay WA0WWW had a fabulous mobile entry again covering 21 counties. They entered the mobile, multi-single, low power, CW category. Unfortunately, their score put them in the Goldlocks zone where it was not too high and not too low, but just right in the middle of the five entries.

Other SDXA members who entered various categories were Chuck KI7DG (single-op, high power, mixed mode), Gary K7GS (single-op, low power, CW), and Gary AD7XG (single-op, low power, CW).
