Appalachian Trail QRP Backpacking Quartet

John Harper AE5X
Participants: N7UN, WA3WSJ, AE5X, NK1N

The first 3 ops (above) will start the hike early on Friday June 2 (along
the way, we will hike over Wireless Mountain). After 11 miles, we'll camp &
get on the air. I'll have my 20-40m KX1 & an inverted V - not sure what the
others will have but I think 2 of them will have K1's.

On Saturday morning we'll begin the next leg of our hike, 12.5 miles to our
next campsite. At this campsite we will be joined by NK1N and will be on the
air after setting up.

The next morning (June 4) will probably include some on-the-air operation as
this days' hike is only 5.5 miles. This hike will take us to the end of our
trip at the highest point in New Jersey, imaginatively named High Point. We
may or may not get on the air from here.

It's tough to be more specific about operating times since our pace is
impossible to know, given the trail condition, weather, etc. but evenings
will be "radioactive" as much as possible. Wx for Friday & Friday night
calls for a strong chance of scattered thunderstorms but the trip is "on"
anyway. Keep an ear out for us.
