[Elecraft] Lookout for G/KG6HMF with K1

Hi Gang (particularly those in Europe):

My 15 year old son, Kevin KG6HMF, will hopefully 
be QRU while traveling throughout the UK for the six 
weeks or so.  He has with him his just completed K1 #1652
(and the ATU and internal Battery setup from my K1), and
a MP-1 and a long wire antenna.

Wednesday morning 23 July (7am UK local time) we have
our first sked, on 14060 or thereabouts.  While I think
it is a long shot for us to make contact (I'm on the West
Coast), I would greatly appreciate it if others on the 
list (particularly EU stations) could look out for him and
perhaps QSP that I will keep looking for him at this sked
time in the days ahead. [Any suggestions for a better time
or frequency for a sked would be most welcome also]

Please note that he is a fairly new general and only has a 
couple of actual CW contacts under his belt in total.  So 
the code will be SLOW.  Hey, here's your chance to take 
up a different sort of "DX challenge" :)

Any help, and any reports of "sightings" would be much
appreciated.

Thanks and 73

John, N6JW
K1 #754
K2 #3290 (in assembly stage III)

PS  The weather does not look all that promising
for campers for the next week or so :)  Oh well . . .
