Hello,

I started calling CQ from the AT around 15:00 UTC on 7.031 MHz. I called for about 20 minutes before I finally had someone reply to my CQ. The bands were not in the best of shape, there was a lot of QSB and around 17:00 UTC the QRN started to build due to the storms to the north of my location.

I worked the following stations.

KD8G Randy in WV        40m
N3AO, Carter in VA        40m
W2KJ, Joe in NC             40m
KC0JKD, Jim in MO        20m
N0GI, Jack in MN            20m
VE3FUJ, Brian in Ont.      40m

I did call CQ of 15 meters for about 15 minutes, no signals heard on the band. I also tried 30m but nothing heard there either.

The chipmunks were causing a lot of QRM in and around me while I was on the air. But it was another Great Day out on the Appalachian trail in PA. The wx was sunny and with the temp around 75' F. There was a nice breeze and in the forest . . . .well it was just Great. Wish I could have made a few more QSO's but I guess you can't have everything. On my hike back to my car I came upon a 2 1/2 foot long and fat Eastern Garter Snake sunning himself on some rocks on the trail.

72 and Thanks,
Ron Polityka
