Hello, Well Woody and I were out on the AT in PA. We started hiking around 15:50 UTC. We hiked up to the top of the ridge north of Eckville, PA. After arriving at a camp site I had to change my shirt, it was soaked even in the 40' temperatures. We guess that up on top the temp. had to be in the high 30's. Woody started calling CQ on 40 meters around 17:35 UTC and I was on 10 meters. I told Woody to be ready for a small pile up and that he will never get off of 40 m. I did not make any QSO's on 10 m but my 1st QSO today was with DF8BC in Germany. I will have a better count of Woody's QSO's by state when he e-mails me the list. I made 5 QSO's and they were as follows. DF8BC on 15 m Germany KK7JO on 15 m UT G3MJX on 20 m England AB0RS on 20 m MN W3IRZ on 20 m GA We had a ball and we had great QSO's with everyone. If you missed us, you will have another chance in Jan. 2002 on my next outing. I am basically finished with going out on the AT for 2001. My total QSO count for the past 21 months is now at 247 QSO from the AT in PA. This trip was probably the last trip for the K2. I have a K1 on the way and I am going to make that my new Trail rig. 72 & 73 Ron Polityka WB3AAL www.n3epa.org
