John...thanks for giving us a backpack trip report. Sounds like the lightning was life-threatening. What's the key to surviving a lightning storm in the mountains? We got caught in one at about 10,500' when we were hiking near Silverton, CO......we also got hailed on. You must've been within a few hundred feet of the lightning strikes.
Would you do anything different with the ham gear? Maybe take a 40 mtr. dipole, too? Also wonder what the CW abbreviation is for mosquito? QRN/SUX? Or maybe you could make one up.....QMQ 73 de K5AVJ Lynn (K2 #1411) _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
