Hello Everyone,
Ed, WA3WSJ and I will be hiking up to Pulpit Rock no matter what the
weather will be. I talked him into it the other day. :-)
We are going to have lunch at the Cabela's store and then hike up to the
site. That will be a treat with us walking into the store in our hiking
gear. Maybe I should walk in with my backpack and solar panel on. :-) Ed
and I could be on the air sometime between 18:00 and 19:00 UTC.
I will be using my K1 on 15, 20, 30 and 40 meter CW with the VBWFPA antenna.
This time I will have coax. :-) I will start out on 15 meters and listen
for Europe. If I have no replies to my CQ's I will jump to 20 meters and
then 40 meters. At 20:30 UTC I will be following the schedule that is posted
on Ed's web page. http://www.wa3wsj.com/files/PolarBear2005.html
Hope to work a lot of QRP'ers from the AT. My QSO count is at 420 from the
Appalachian Trail. Would be great to hit the 500 QSO mark tomorrow but I am
not counting on it. So if I have already talked to you before from the AT
and you hear me please stop by on the air and say hello. We will keep it
brief so I can work as many stations as possible.
It has been 5 years now since I have been going to the AT with my radios. I
have not missed one month since March 2000. Funny how time flies and the
Great people you meet on the trail and on the air.
72 and Thanks,
Ron Polityka
