[PaQSO] Two Birds With One Stone - N3SW / JUN

[Richard Walker]

My PQP expedition to Juniata County was fun.  I studied the State Forest maps and found a high altitude location that was accessible by road and also qualified as a Summits On The Air activation.  I drove out there Saturday morning and got on the air about 1:30pm.  I operated until about 5:00pm and handed out fifty CW QRP QSOs using my Elecraft K2 and a Black Widow Vertical antenna.  I spent most of my time on 40 meters, with some time on 20 and a bit on 15.  My only DX contact was Lithuania.

If you have never been to the area around Spectacle Gap Run on the Tuscarora State Forest, you should check it out.  It is a beautiful neck of the woods.


Here are some pictures of my operation:
