I am finalizing my plans for the weekend.
I will be on top of Slide Mountain in the catskills FN21TX
Bands ill have
2m fm/ssb
70cm fm/ssb
6m fm/ssb
1.25 fm (223)
I will be around 4200 feet of elevation and have clear shots 360'
Ill be using my Ft-817nd, so 5 watts on 2,70,6 and 1.5w on 223 on the vx8r fm
I'm counting on everyone with base stations to do the heavy lifting while I
just make a peep on the air from my location =)
I will then be camping out in a nearby site and possibly returning to the peak
in the AM and operating for a few more hours on Sunday.
These plans are all subject to change. Weather, injury, gear malfunction etc
etc can basically shut me down.
I will have APRS near the top of the peak, under K2FR-7 (www.aprs.fi) I will
probably have status messages bands/info of what i'm doing.
Looking forward to making some sweet contacts given the height ill be at plus
the flurry of activity that the contest brings.
Andrew - K2FR
