Ended up doing PDX with Josh WU7H and getting to meet Etienne K7ATN and Guy N7UN at the first summit, and followed it up by flying into Cleveland to pick up W3 and W8O in the day.
I did get 4 new associations with 3 on VHF, but it won’t feature in the Is your SOTA activating cost effective? thread for points or cost wise 
Had some fun on the second day with one of the screws in my paddle coming loose making keying not perfect, and potentially some deafness in my 20m QCX mini - probably requiring a quick BPF realignment or something. Thanks for the folks that were listening.
Now to try wangle a work trip to Spain…
