Not sure the "OT" is needed since there will be a K1 and K2 in use, but just to stay honest ...
Rich, NU6T, and I will be on Leviathan Peak tomorrow, Sat 25 Jul, hopefully starting around 1630Z. Barring insurmountable problems [we know we didn't forget the radios, antennas, and batteries :-)], we'll hang out as long as we can. Expedition end will be dictated by either falling temperature or darkness [we want to be back down to US-395 before the long dark spell starts]. We will both sign NU6T. Rich will be on his K1 [~14.061 and ~7.045 if we are able to hang out until 40 opens. I will be on my K2 [~10.110, ~18.090, ~21.061, ~24.910 if 15 and 12 open] I'll likely start out on 17m. We do have Rich's -706 and he may try out SSB. Rich is working on his CW, please be kind :-) I believe I'll be able to post spots to QRPSpots and SOTAWatch from my phone, assuming I can read my notes in my station journal and figure out how to work my phone. LP is SOTA W6/SN-039. We're hoping to get to most of the summit hunters prior to 1800Z ... when FD starts. Thereafter we'll do our best to hold a frequency with 5W, but in that bedlam, it may be mainly S&P. We'll submit a 2B Battery FD entry. If the SOTA folks are plentiful, I'll stay on WARC bands to work them out and Rich will dive into FD. Leviathan Peak [~9,500 ft] is on the extreme eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada a few miles into California in Alpine County and we'll QSL anyone needing that county. Last I heard, there were no active hams in Alpine County. We will load our logs [separately] to the SOTA database, and combined to LoTW. SFI=96, A=13 [ouch], K=3 at 0240Z 25 Jun. We're hoping for good condx. 73, Skip, K6DGW Topaz Lake, NV ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
