[Elecraft] [KX3] Eclipse logistics and em-comm nets?

[Todd]

I am planning on being up in the Strawberry Mtn Wilderness area (if it's 
not saturated with people) south
of John Day.   I'm hoping to get on with the KX2 for the SEQP as well.  
Looking to do a couple of SOTA
peaks prior to the big event.  When  I get up there depends on when I 
get out of Elko.   Been stuck over
here for going on two days now (work related).

Here's a good link I got from W6EU last week.  Good Oregon road and 
webcam info:

Oregon has a pretty good linked repeater system:

The Oregon Connection link comes up as a dead link, so not sure what's 
going on with that system...

Good idea on the RV Svc net.  There's also the Jefferson Noon Net daily 
at noon on 7204 plus or minus,
but I think they're mostly NorCal and Reno area ??

I'll be using W7TR for the SEQP from grid DN04ph  with KX2 and a 20M 
EFHW.   Sounds like fun!

I also read something about some of the rural areas of Oregon not taking 
ATM debit cards,  so carry cash  ;-)
(I've never experienced that though and Ive played in eastern OR quite a 
bit - just passing on what I read)

I did Salmoncon back in July, and the consensus among some of the group 
that were heading to the coast
said it was going to be pure chaos...
