[Elecraft] K1 on the AT in PA on Saturday

Sat Jan 24 10:17:12 2004

Hello,

 I am heading out to the AT around 15:30 UTC. It might take me about an hour
to get there but I should be on the air around 16:30 to 17:00 UTC.

 Look for me on 14.060 to .063. If the band is not too good look for me on
10.106 to .109. I will try 7.040 to .043 at the end near 18:00 UTC.

 If you give me a call, Please give me a few seconds to reply. It is going
to be cold. :-) I am not sure how long I will be on the air just because I
will not have a tent for shelter, I will be out in the open. I will take
pictures. If you see this e-mail, just let me know. That way I can tell you
if I plan to stay longer for more QSO's, then if you can please make a post
about my intentions.

72 and Thanks,
Ron Polityka
