Hello,

 The Flight of the Bumblebees is upon us again and I will try to be out on 
the Appalachian trail as BB#35. I like to operate this contest a lot but I 
never have too much success with the weather. Usually get rained out with 
violent thunderstorms.

 The weather for my BB area on Sunday has a 60% chance of Thunderstorms. I 
would like to hike to the top of the mountain near Eckville, PA. This would 
place me on top of the mountain and it is a 45 minute hike about 2 1/2 mile 
up a rocky trail. If the weather looks bad on Sunday I will head to my other 
location which is about a 10 minute hike and it places me on the side of a 
mountain close to the top.

 Look for me from the Appalachian Trail as BB#35. I will also be looking for 
stations that are on the Appalachian Trail in the States of MA and ME.

I need QSO's from the AT with HI, MT and SD States for my WAS.

I will be using the Black Widow Vertical and my K1.

72,
Ron de WB3AAL
