Early on we received a signal from Hayden Peak, some 180 miles away. We were in contact via HAM radios to verify that we saw their mirror flash a signal at us.  It was too windy to put together the 2 foot by 2 foot mirror.  However, when the wind died down, we got the 2&#215;2 put together and sent a mirror flash back to Hayden Peak.<\/p>\n<p>One other highlight was flashing my brother and his family who were at home in Vista, some 65 miles away.  As for the 23 mile round trip, it was long.
