[Elecraft] Hiking the AT in PA Today with K1 and NK8Q

[Ron Polityka]

Hello,

 Today around 14:30 UTC, Mark de NK8Q and I de WB3AAL will be starting our 
hike on the Appalachian Trail.

 We will be hiking North on the AT from the Hawk Mountain / Eckville, PA 
crossing area. This will be about a 2 1/2 mile hike with about 1 mile of it 
straight up the side of the mountain. Plenty of trees in this large flat 
area on the top of the mountain. Unfortunately there are no views due to the 
heavy forest in the area. Plenty of room for Mark and I to setup and spread 
out.

 I will be taking my K1 four-band rig, 40, 30, 20 & 15 m and a VBWFPA 
antenna. We should be on the air sometime around 16:00 UTC. I will try 15 
meters around 17:00 UTC. I will probably start out on 20 or 30 m. I will be 
on 40 m later in the afternoon around 18:00 UTC.

 Mark will be on the other bands with his K2 on CW. If you work us, please 
spot us on the DX Clusters and the e-mail list you are reading this on.

72 and Thanks,
Ron Polityka
