WB3AAL on the AT

[WB3AAL]

Hello,

 This weekend we are having a peek at Spring in Eastern PA.
The wx is to be sunny and around 50'F. Saturday it will be
10 years of going out on the Appalachian Trail every month
with my QRP radio. I know there is the major SSB DX Contest
this weekend so the CW sections should not be too crowded.

 Not sure where the 10 years went but I did have a lot of
fun.  I had a chance to meet new people and make a lot of
friends.

I am planning to be on the air around 16:00 UTC with my
Elecraft K1 @ 5 watts and a portable vertical. Not sure
where I will be due to the large amount of snow in the
mountain top parking lots but I will be out on the
Appalachian Trail in PA.

 I will start out on 21.060 to see if I can work across the
Atlantic. Propagation will be the dictate what bands I will
be on but you can find me at the usual QRP watering holes.

21.060  /  14.060  /  10.116  /  7.030 or 7.040

If you work me on the air please spot me on the list or DX
Cluster.

I am not sure if I will continue my adventure on the AT for
another 10 years. A fellow QRP'er asked me, did I ever
calculate the time driving, time hiking, time setting up the
station, operating time and doing everything in reverse
until I got back home. Lot of time wrapped up in 120 months
and 120 plus outings of operation on the AT.

72 and Thanks,

Hello,

 The wx is great but I was called into work around 15:45
UTC.

Just got home and need to take a shower. Maybe next week.
