[Elecraft] Canuck Polar Bears on the air Sunday

[vze3v8dt at verizon.net]

Hi Michael!

I hope to work you while we're both out with the Polar Bears.  I'm Polar Bear #4 with the EPA QRP Club and operating from Pulpit Rock on the Appalachian Trail, near Hamburg, PA.  I'll be HF mobile on the way up and using my K2 once we are up there.  Luckily I left some twine in the tree for the center support of the antenna so that I can more easily raise my antenna and be on the air quicker than last time.  Should be near the QRP watering holes on 40 & 20m, maybe 30m as well.

73,

Mark, NK8Q
Polar Bear #4
K2 4786
