[Elecraft] WB3AAL Appalachian Trail 1 Jan 05

[Bill_Harris]

FYI Ron, there is a group called "HF Pack"  that is very strong in Pedestrian mobile operation. both CW and SSB.   Their various calling frequencies are listed at....http://www.hfpack.com/  Most of the members seem to be on SSB with their 817's (ugh)  However, they  do have an interesting web site established (IMHO).

Sorry I responded to your post after you departed for the trail.  I'll look for you on 20m....Have fun..
Carry on
