Re: [Elecraft] EPA QRP Club Polar Bear Moonlight Madness Event -- 2/22
Hello, I am planning to be at the EPA QRP Club's Polar Bear Moonlight Madness Event on 22 Feb 2005. I will be hiking up to the Pulpit Rock area in PA and to be on the air around 21:00 UTC. I will be near the QRP freq. on 40, 30, 20 and 15 meters. I will be on 20 meters at first trying to work into Europe and then on 15 meters near night fall. I plan on being up there early before everyone else, so I will be in a tent out of the wind. Hope to work many QSO's during this trip. 72 and Thanks, Ron Polityka WB3AAL www.wb3aal.com www.n3epa.org/ ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] EPA QRP Club Polar Bear Moonlight Madness Event!
Full Moon Names: Harvest, Hunter, Wolf and . Sturgeon? By Joe Rao mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Special to SPACE.com posted: 07:00 am ET 14 February 2003 While the Harvest Moon rings a bell in most heads, some of the other monthly lunar names are nowhere near as well known. Think pink. And worm, and strawberries and wolves. Or how about Sturgeon? Full Moon names in the United States date back primarily to Native Americans who lived in what is now the northern and eastern United States. Those tribes of a few hundred years ago kept track of the seasons by giving distinctive names to each recurring full Moon. Their names were applied to the entire month in which each occurred. There were some variations in the Moon names, but in general the same ones were current throughout the Algonquin tribes from New England and westward to Lake Superior. European settlers followed their own customs and created some of their own names. Since the lunar (synodic) month is roughly 29.5 days in length on average, the dates of the full Moon shift from year to year. . Full Snow Moon - February Since the heaviest snow usually falls during this month, native tribes of the north and east most often called February's full Moon the Full Snow Moon. Some tribes also referred to this Moon as the Full Hunger Moon, since harsh weather conditions in their areas made hunting very difficult. EPA QRP Club Polar Bear Moonlight Madness Event - February 22nd, 2005 Rain Date -- 2/23/2005 Time--- estimated times 6pm to 9pm (subject to change) A hardy bunch of EPA QRP members will brave the winter cold and head up to Pulpit Rock, PA on the AT on 2/22. Some will drive up and others will hike the two-mile trail straight up the mountain in the dark! Yes, a few of us will hike by the light of the Snow Moon. We will set up our radio gear and operate from the AT during a full moon in the dead of winter. If you make a contact with any of us (Polar Bear Operators), you can receive a beautiful award from us. Weather report for our journey is partly cloudy with temps in the 20s. On top of a mountain even worse! We'll do the hard part, but we need you to contact us! More to come later. 72, Ed, WA3WSJ Polar Bear Operator ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
