Not sure the "OT" is needed since there will be a K1 and K2 in use, but
just to stay honest ...
Rich, NU6T, and I will be on Leviathan Peak tomorrow, Sat 25 Jul,
hopefully starting around 1630Z. Barring insurmountable problems [we
know we didn't forget the radios, antennas, and batteries :-)], we'll
hang out as long as we can. Expedition end will be dictated by either
falling temperature or darkness [we want to be back down to US-395
before the long dark spell starts].
We will both sign NU6T. Rich will be on his K1 [~14.061 and ~7.045 if
we are able to hang out until 40 opens. I will be on my K2 [~10.110,
~18.090, ~21.061, ~24.910 if 15 and 12 open] I'll likely start out on
17m. We do have Rich's -706 and he may try out SSB. Rich is working on
his CW, please be kind :-)
I believe I'll be able to post spots to QRPSpots and SOTAWatch from my
phone, assuming I can read my notes in my station journal and figure out
how to work my phone.
LP is SOTA W6/SN-039. We're hoping to get to most of the summit hunters
prior to 1800Z ... when FD starts. Thereafter we'll do our best to hold
a frequency with 5W, but in that bedlam, it may be mainly S&P. We'll
submit a 2B Battery FD entry. If the SOTA folks are plentiful, I'll
stay on WARC bands to work them out and Rich will dive into FD.
Leviathan Peak [~9,500 ft] is on the extreme eastern edge of the Sierra
Nevada a few miles into California in Alpine County and we'll QSL anyone
needing that county. Last I heard, there were no active hams in Alpine
County. We will load our logs [separately] to the SOTA database, and
combined to LoTW.
SFI=96, A=13 [ouch], K=3 at 0240Z 25 Jun. We're hoping for good condx.
73,
Skip, K6DGW
Topaz Lake, NV
