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

[Les Silva via K3CAL]

I would like to participate In a supporting roll. I am picturing me back at the cabin with a Hot Brandy. Sort of the St. Bernard with the brandy cask for emergency purposes. I don't think I could make the trek to the top.

It appears that Knob Mountain has been activated only 7 times. The last activation was 12AUG15. W4OTN who is a "Mountain Goat" activated it 4 of the 7 times.

Historically 59% of contacts were on 20 meters. 39% were made 40 meters. Only 2 contacts or 1% were made on 2 meters.
