[K3CAL] Golden Packet APRS and SOTA activation

[David Hardy]

A team of 4 hearty souls from CARA will traverse Apple Orchard Mountain to activate a VHF APRS station for the Golden Packet which attempts to send message traffic from peaks along the Appalachian Trail from GA to ME this Saturday at noon.  Once the link is established, they will commence HF and VHF ops from the 4225 ft summit.  Look for ops on 20 and 40 mtr ssb and PSK31 all afternoon as long as the weather holds .
