KG5N and i will be operating out of the 9000 foot snow covered hills at the
Mueller State Park. You are invited to join us, There are plenty of picnic
areas around the Park so we can have plenty of spacing between operating
sites,
Bring your QRP
rig and some hot coffee. This is a wilderness experience, There won't be any
noisy generators or cook stoves :<

We will have the KG5N Sierra and the Elecraft KX1 in operation.
If you get lost call us on 146.52..

The other QRP Field Day is QRP to the Field (QRPTTF) which occurs in the
summer time.
