[PPRAANet] w0rw/pm Sundays Log

[W0rw at aol.com]

It was another really nice night and the skies cleared up for stargazing too.
i was operating Pedestrian Mobile  on 10117.5 from 0200z to 0318z (8/8/05).
Thanks to all the guys who stoped by to say hello.
i have a fixed frequency receiver so it is hard to work a lot of stations
like this by just calling CQ or spidering.

Results: at 0200z
LLoyd,  K3ESE, and Tony, W4FOA, were there waiting for me 
before i got my Whiterook paddle adjusted...
Here are the rest of my contacts:
W4HE  Wayne,  NC
W9NX Kent, IL
KO4TE Pete, TN
NR5A, Jerry, SD, i have been trying to work Jerry for a few days.
AA5TB Steve, TX  20W  (Just then 2 deer came bounding by me 30 feet away).
K5FXB  Dan AR (another deer nearly ran into me at dusk) 
W5FH  Lowell (i am now looking for bears) missed his QTH.
W6RK Risto, CA
PP2RON  Ron  BRAZIL....How Cool Is That !!!!, Thanks for the DX Ron
My first Brazil Ped Mobile contact on 30 meters !!

W1WW  George,  SC
W0BCA  Rod  MN
0318Z  QRT...  15 Q's
Thanks to all...30 meters was great tonight !
It was about 60F after the sun set...It got down to 35F at 2am.

Logging is hard in the dark.. i use a 'cuff log', like a NFL Quarterback.
(Send me a direct request if you want to see a picture of it.)
i was hiking around near Cripple Creek, CO around 9000 feet elevation.
i was using my back pack radio and had a 10 foot whip. i had a 20 foot drag 
wire following me. The radio weighs 23 pounds and i was running 50W. The 
battery is
a pack of 20 "D" size NiCad's. i just recharge the battery the next day but i 
have a hand crank generator too...
i hope you get that old radio on your back and try 30 meters.
 
Paul   (always watching for bears)
