Hi, I'll be in the Flight of the Bumblebees this coming Sunday, 25 Jul 2010. I have a bee number but you have to work me to know it :-). I'll be on Bald Mt, California [38+54+15N 120+42+14W 1,400m (4,592ft) AMSL] from 1700Z to 2100Z. Rig will be a K2 @ 5W, and a Buddipole in ground plane configuration. CW only, I don't have a mic for my K2, around 14.040, and maybe 18.080 if it's open. I'm pretty sure my batteries will last for the full 4 hours, they always have in the past, and I'll solar charge one while using the other.
This will also be a Summits On The Air activation [ www.sota.org.uk ] of Summit W6/SN-047, my first since getting the mountain added to the W6 list. At the SOTA URL, click on Associations, and find W6. I'll be worth 4 points for any summit hunters. I'm a little mobility challenged, so I'll drive to near the summit, and schlep my gear to my operating spot [a "schlep" is less than a "hike" but more than a "stroll"] to conform to the spirit of the SOTA and FOBB rules. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2010 Cal QSO Party 2-3 Oct 2010 - www.cqp.org ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
