Hi,

I'll be in the Flight of the Bumblebees this coming Sunday, 25 Jul 2010.
  I have a bee number but you have to work me to know it :-).  I'll be
on Bald Mt, California [38+54+15N 120+42+14W 1,400m (4,592ft) AMSL] from
1700Z to 2100Z. Rig will be a K2 @ 5W, and a Buddipole in ground plane
configuration.  CW only, I don't have a mic for my K2, around 14.040,
and maybe 18.080 if it's open.  I'm pretty sure my batteries will last
for the full 4 hours, they always have in the past, and I'll solar
charge one while using the other.

This will also be a Summits On The Air activation [ www.sota.org.uk ] of
Summit W6/SN-047, my first since getting the mountain added to the W6
list.  At the SOTA URL, click on Associations, and find W6.  I'll be
worth 4 points for any summit hunters.

I'm a little mobility challenged, so I'll drive to near the summit, and
schlep my gear to my operating spot [a "schlep" is less than a "hike"
but more than a "stroll"] to conform to the spirit of the SOTA and FOBB
rules.

73,
