Greetings Ron WB3AAL and I started out on the trail about 10:30. The temperature was alright, the wind was calm but no sun. Spots of deer hair were on the trail most of the way. Obviously a hunter bagged a deer earlier in the week. Ascending the mountain, there was a noticeable difference in temperature, at least 10 degrees. We set up our gear at the top of the mountain, Ron with his K2 and me with a K1. I started out on 40, Ron I think was on 10m. Ron's first contact was Germany (I'll let him post the details of his QSOs). Here were my contacts: AA3SJ Ed PA N8UM TN (TN QSO Party) AA2NL Rich NJ AE5X John NJ K8KFJ Gary WV NV9C Mary IN K1SWL Dave CT KG4HTT Vic VA My CW sending hand was cold most of the time so I made alot of mistakes. The sun came out when I was in QSO with Vic and it made a noticeable difference. We packed up and headed out about 2:45. We had a great time ! Thanks to everyone who we worked and sorry we couldn't work more people. We'll get you on the next hike :-) 72 Goody K3NG
