[Elecraft] Polar Bear Sprint/Hunt Jan. 14

[Ron Polityka]

Hello,

 The Jan. 2006 Polar Bear Moonlight Madness Sprint / Hunt is going to be 
held on Jan. 14th, 2006. Yep I know the NA Contest is going on the same time 
but it looks like any Polar Bears that are going to be on 40 meters will 
hang out around 7.110 MHz.

 Anyway, if you are interested in the Polar Bear activity, please check out 
the web page www.n3epa.org for more details about the PB Sprint / Hunt. 
There will be certificates for each state that bag the most PB's. Now there 
are 2 club calls with PB numbers.

 As for myself, this will be my second outing on the Appalachian Trail this 
year. I was going over my log and to my surprise I have already passed my 
500 QSO from the AT and I am closing in on my 600 Q now. I also need 9 more 
states to worked all the states from the AT. Below are my stats.

564 QSO from the Appalachian Trail
  41 States worked from the AT
  14 Countries worked from the AT

I will be looking for anyone operating on the AT from the States of MA and 
ME so I can complete my AT to AT QSO with all 14 States that the AT run 
through.

I will also be looking for the following States to complete my WAS from the 
AT.

MS, ND, SD, MT, NM, AZ, OR, AK & HI.

I will be looking for any DX stations also to get closer to my DXCC from the 
AT. The last three times out I have worked DX station in Europe on 30 and 40 
meters.

I will be using my K2 this time out.

72 and Thanks,
Ron Polityka
