[K3CAL] Knob Mountain Summit on the Air w/ QRP

[Steve Hempling]

Hello...!  Eric's idea, (adventurer) after hearing of my Cabin in 
Va..2.5 hrs from here... wondered if I wanted to put the Summit of Knob 
Mountain  (Elevation about 2600 ft) on the air.... a camping and QRP 
Adventure (5 watts) ....                  The Summit is 1.5 hrs up 
hill,   1000 feet higher up,   for the well fit only..  prior 
camping/walking experience a plus...       QRP  (unless you carry the 
appropriate extension cord)... I have Tents already for 3 and 5 people 
already..

I can think of maybe 3 - 8 of our many club members that may be 
interested...   my home will be open for the base camp   at 1650 ft 
Elevation.. (just don't fall out of the sliding glass windows please)...
      please bring potable WATER!    ..really..just ask...   the cabin 
has bathrooms/beds, and all accoutrements and borders on the Park  
(pretty)..    4 Wheel drive only     (I am not responsible for oil 
pans),   rough road,  ask around...


for those interested in the adventure, Please Respond by Sending Me a 
list  of your QRP stuff like mine:

    Yaesu FT-817nd
    40 meter Small Wonders Lab cw transceiver
    Elecraft T-1 tuner
    20 mtr Dipole
    40 mtr Dipole
    Pack-12 vertical**** antenna
    Batteries, wire, rope,
    Tents,  and Everything a camping group needs (except their sleeping 
bags, food and water)


        Send you thoughts and your plan...   great spot for HF 
microwave.and SSB.    VHF/UHF...

              We would need a backpacking permit from the Park, (by 
mail)... NO FIRES allowed in park, cook stoves only!

Maybe consider Nov/Dec, or after next Winter thaw, (less insect 
problems) just checking interest...

                   (start your cardiac training!)

                                                     Thanks   Steve N3IPN
