Polar Bear Sprint/Hunt Jan. 14

WB3AAL
Hello,

 The Jan. 2006 Polar Bear Moonlight Madness Sprint / Hunt is going to be
held on Jan. 14th, 2006. Yep I know the NA Contest is going on the same time
but it looks like any Polar Bears that are going to be on 40 meters will
hang out around 7.110 MHz.

 Anyway, if you are interested in the Polar Bear activity, please check out
the web page www.n3epa.org for more details about the PB Sprint / Hunt.
There will be certificates for each state that bag the most PB's. Now there
are 2 club calls with PB numbers.

 As for myself, this will be my second outing on the Appalachian Trail this
year. I was going over my log and to my surprise I have already passed my
500 QSO from the AT and I am closing in on my 600 Q now. I also need 9 more
states to worked all the states from the AT. Below are my stats.

564 QSO from the Appalachian Trail
  41 States worked from the AT
  14 Countries worked from the AT

I will be looking for anyone operating on the AT from the States of MA and
ME so I can complete my AT to AT QSO with all 14 States that the AT run
through.

I will also be looking for the following States to complete my WAS from the
AT.

MS, ND, SD, MT, NM, AZ, OR, AK & HI.

I will be looking for any DX stations also to get closer to my DXCC from the
AT. The last three times out I have worked DX station in Europe on 30 and 40
meters.

I will be using my K2 this time out.

72 and Thanks,
Ron Polityka

Hello,

 I should be on the air from the AT around 18:00 UTC.

15 sounds open so I am going to try that band for a little while around
21.060.

Then I will try 20 and then 30 meters. After 21:00 UTC I will be on 40
meters around 7.110 for a while.

Can't nail down what band I will be on at a certain time but I should be +
or- 5 of the QRP freq. It all depends on the propagation.

72 and Thanks,
