Guys and Gals, Regret I had to leave behind my '817 for this trip. With the portable antenna, rig and accesories my bagage was overweight. I did bring my HT (FM only...) and will be on at 2000L on 144.300 simplex. I have a portable J-pole to attach. Will listen for about 1/2 hour and if no calls I'll QRT. Next time! 73, Kent, K6FQ
