FYBO and Polar Bears

[WB3AAL]

Hello,

 While you are working the FYBO contest on 3 Feb 2007, look for the Polar
Bears on the air. My fellow Polar Bears and I will be out doing what PB's
know best. . . . . FYBO'ing.

 My fellow PB's and I will be running the FYBO Contest but with a twist. If
you hear a PB1 or PB25 or PB45 after you receive the FYBO's exchange, you
have worked a Polar Bear.

 Check out what Polar Bears will be out and about on Saturday.

I will be working towards my 800 QSO's from the Appalachian trail and trying
to capture some images of the elusive Ninja QRP Operator.

Hope to work you on Saturday and possibly see you in Atlanticon 2007 in MD.

72 and Thanks,
Ron Polityka

Hello,

 Last week's FYBO contest was a lot of fun. I went with Mark, NK8Q to the
Appalachian Trail just North of Rte 501 in PA. It was a short hike about 1/2
to 3/4 of a mile to a camp site with plenty of trees for cover. As soon as
we arrived we made a camp fire, place to warm the toes when they are cold.

 I was using my K1 and a vertical. I started out on 15 meters and making a
quick QSO with
KK6MC in NM. Thanks Mark, new state for me from the AT. Not working anyone
else on 15m I moved to 40m to catch the close states. Made 6 Q's on 40m and
then I made 13 QSO's on 20 meters.

 I had a great time FYBO'ing at temps. from 20 to 16'F.

Mark and I had a Cold Blast during the FYBO 2007. Afterward we headed to a
pizza shop for some cold beer and pizza.

I am closing in on my 800th QSO from the Appalachian Trail and I only need 5
more States for WAS from the trail.

Until next time on the air.

72 and Thanks,
