AT PBMME QRP Backpack trip --COLD!

[WA3WSJ]

Hello all,

I bought a new sleeping bag, bag liner and air mattress for this one!
John, NU3E, and myself, WA3WSJ, will hike in 5.5 miles on the AT to
Eagles Nest Shelter, PA late Saturday morning. We will then setup camp
at the shelter.

Look for us on the air Saturday late morning until Sunday morning. We
plan to spend the night there! Weather forecast is for snow Friday and
brutal temps in the single digits late Saturday evening into Sunday
morning.

Look for WA3WSJ on 20m 30m and 40m around the qrp frequencies. I will
use my "pimped-out" KX1 with a Bead-Wire Antenna.

We plan to have a campfire Saturday evening to help us stay warm. If you
work us, please wait after sending your call as we will have to take off
our gloves to return your call!  

We will truly be "out-in-the-woods" on this one!


72,
Ed,WA3WSJ

Here's a tentative schedule of my Eagles Nest AT QRP Hike:

1.Eat breakfast at Cabala's near Hamburg, PA at 10am - 10:30am EST.  
2.Drive to Rt.183 and park our vehicles 11:00am.
3.Start hike to the shelter 11:00am
4.Arrive at Eagles Nest Shelter on AT 1:00pm
5.Setup camp and antennas etc. 1:30pm
6.Operate on air 2pm - 5pm
7.Dinner etc. 5:00pm -5:30pm
8.Operate on air 6:00pm - 9:00pm
9.Warm myself by the campfire 9-10pm
10. bedtime 10pm

SUNDAY
1.eat breakfast 8am (I sleep in-hi!)
2.operate on air 8:30am - 10am

John's , NU3E, schedule will be similar, but he rises earlier than I do
and plays radio at night longer than I do.

I will work 20m,30m and 40m. Don't know what order until I see what's
going on with them.

Ed,

    Could you be a little more specific about the time?  I realize that
it isn't easy, but how about an estimate when to start looking for you.

No, I also have been turning around listening for them.
I wanted to get my first PB contact of the year and see
How they sounded.  
Propx seems good today I am hearing 3's, 4's, 8's, 9's and 5's
Very well here right now on 40 and most are qrp.  So if they
Do come up I might hear them.  They posted 20,30 and 40.  I
Guess I will go look around some more and see if I hear em.
