[Elecraft] WB3AAL Pulpit Rock Trip

[Ron Polityka]

Hello Everyone,

 Ed, WA3WSJ and I will be hiking up to Pulpit Rock no matter what the 
weather will be. I talked him into it the other day.  :-)

We are going to have lunch at the Cabela's store and then hike up to the 
site. That will be a treat with us walking into the store in our hiking 
gear. Maybe I should walk in with my backpack and solar panel on.  :-)   Ed 
and I could be on the air sometime between 18:00 and 19:00 UTC.

I will be using my K1 on 15, 20, 30 and 40 meter CW with the VBWFPA antenna. 
This time I will have coax.  :-)  I will start out on 15 meters and listen 
for Europe. If I have no replies to my CQ's I will jump to 20 meters and 
then 40 meters. At 20:30 UTC I will be following the schedule that is posted 
on Ed's web page. http://www.wa3wsj.com/files/PolarBear2005.html

Hope to work a lot of QRP'ers from the AT. My QSO count is at 420 from the 
Appalachian Trail. Would be great to hit the 500 QSO mark tomorrow but I am 
not counting on it. So if I have already talked to you before from the AT 
and you hear me please stop by on the air and say hello. We will keep it 
brief so I can work as many stations as possible.

It has been 5 years now since I have been going to the AT with my radios. I 
have not missed one month since March 2000. Funny how time flies and the 
Great people you meet on the trail and on the air.

72 and Thanks,
Ron Polityka
