Ron, GL with your K1 on the trail. I'll listen for you tonight on 40M. The XYL and I visited the start of the AT (Georgia) 2 weeks ago. There were reports of lots of Black bear activity. Campers were told to hang their food high in a tree (at least 12 feet up and 8 feet from the tree trunk). 73, Fred, AE6IC, K3 2241
