[PPRAANet] FYBO Report de w0rw

[W0rw@aol.com]

Here is my FYBO Pedestrian Mobile report.
Thanks to all  who struggled to copy my weak little signal.
Running KX1 at 3W to an 8 foot whip stuck in my rear pocket.
Dragging a 15 foot ground wire on the snow.
We had a great day at Divide, Colorado. The Temp was 20F to start then went to
25F. KG5n (Nick) was working from the picnic table in 1 foot of fresh snow, 
He made about 40 Q's with a dipole in a tree. 
i was hiking on the trail at 9000 feet at Muller State Park.
It was a bright and sunny day and the winter birds were eating our lunch 
crumbs right out of our hands.
Logging was very hard as i stumbled through the snow, sometimes post-holing
in deep spots. i hiked about 6 miles in the snow. 20 meters was best, heard 
some signals on 40 but the 8 foot whip is too short.
i made 38 Q's and worked Alaska too.
