[Elecraft] AT in PA Sunday

[Ron Polityka]

Hello,

 Well I made the repairs to my K1 last night and made my alignment today.
The K1 is all set to go back out on the Appalachian Trail Sunday morning. My
20 meter crystal on the four band board went north with Hurricane Isabel.
:-)

 Look for me on the AT in PA near Strausstown. I will be north of the town
off of Rte. 183 testing out my K1 with a modified WA3WSJ's (VBWFPA)
vertical. VBWFPA stands for Vertical Black Widow Fishing Pole Antenna. I
will be doing some testing with this modified version on 40, 30, 20 & 15
meters. With the bands in being so bad I am not sure which bands I will be
on due to propagation. The Solar X-rays are Active with the Geomagnetic
Field in the Storm mode. I will be on 15 meters at 15:00 UTC. Today I hear
some activity on 21.056 MHz from California, so give a listen for me.

I should be on the air around 13:00 UTC. Look around 7.042, 10.110, 14.062
and 21.062 MHz. I plan on packing up around 15:30 UTC.

Hope the propagation picks up.

72 and Thanks,
