WB3AAL on the AT 22 Dec 2007

WB3AAL
Hello,

 I will be working towards my 900th QSO from the Appalachian Trail on
Saturday.

Look for me starting at 14:00 UTC between 7.030 and 7.035.

I will also be on 10.108 and 14.060 later in the day. I will also give a
couple CQ's on 21.060 at 17:00 UTC.

I have to pack up and hike out by 18:00 UTC for a Holiday gathering.

I will be using my K1 and a Black Widow Vertical.

Hope everyone has a Safe and Happy Holiday Season!!

72 and Thanks,
Ron Polityka

Hello,

 Yesterday I had a very enjoyable hike and outing on the Appalachian Trail.

The trees were covered in heavy ice and there was a fresh 1/4 of snow on the
ground.

I finally arrived at my operating location around 13:45 UTC. I got
everything setup out in the open due to falling branches and trees with
heavy ice. The weather was cloudy and around 32'F with the wind blowing from
5 to 15 MPH.

I got on 40m and started calling CQ around 14:15 UTC. I worked a couple of
stations before I went to 30m and then 20m. I did stop and call CQ on 15m at
17:00 UTC but there was no reply and no signals what so ever on the band.

This is my log:

K8CV in MI on 40m
WB8RTJ in OH on 40m
N8VIP in MI on 40m

NG9D in IL on 30m

N0TU in CO on 20m  Thanks Steven
NU4B in TN on 20m
MI0BPB in Northern Ireland on 20m  New Country!!

I had a blast and I might go out again on Monday.
Sorry I could not make it out for the PBMME by a family gathering takes
presidents.

72 and Thanks,
