[FARC] Hike Across MD ops badly needed!

Tue Apr 28 23:09:01 EDT 2009

Jeff,

I recommended Raven Rock for Tom, KB3PNU.  I could probably cover high
rock myself if needed, as they'll secure in time for me to get down to
harpers ferry to help setup APRS.  I think I have a good APRS
commitment for Washington Monument State Park, and hopefully a station
to cover Cowell.   Oh, I forgot about Lambs Knoll, I'll see if the
person I suggested for Cowell might want to take the 2nd shift there.
He has a Kenwoos TH-D7 APRS HT like Jackie, if he'd prefer an
afternoon shift.

We need coverage at the following checkpoints along the Appalachian Trail in MD for the times noted: High Rock (0515-0730), Raven Rock (0600-0830), Cowell Shelter (0630-1200), and Lambs Knoll (1400-1700). A 5W 2M HT or portable rig with a decent antenna should suffice and we will be using either 146.745 (-) PL 123.0 or 147.060 (+) PL 123.0 on the Target linked system and/or 146.580 simplex as a backup between checkpoints. You'll be able to park at the checkpoint or have at most a 5 minute walk in. ARES membership is not required to participate. Please contact me ASAP if you are available. Thanks.
