7R265R5, BUT THEY COULDNT HEAR ME.  WAS PROPAGATION SHIFTING?  BY 150 PM,
CALLING CQ ON 14R342R5 YIELDED NO FURTHER ANSWERS.  THE AFTERNOON WAS OVER.
PACK IT UP, PACK IT DOWN  I TRIED MONITORING THE 2 METER CALLING FREQUENCY,
146R52 MHZ, AS I WAS PACKING UP, BUT HEARD NOTHING.  THE SUN WAS MOVING
LOWER IN THE SKY.  IF IT TOOK ME 2 1/2 HOURS TO GET DOWN, I WOULD ARRIVE AT
THE CAR BARELY BEFORE DARK.  IT WAS TIME TO MOVE.  THE WHOLE NORTH SLOPE OF
THE PEAK DOWN TO THE SADDLE WAS SNOW COVERED, SO GOING DOWN WAS SLOW WORK
