Hello,

My trip on the Appalachian Trail today is still on.
The wx will be around 32' F with a light wind. There is a chance of snow flurries for the area. I will be about a 1 hour hike of 3 miles East of Route 501 at a location called Round Head.

040" 30' 27.74"N
076" 18' 40.12"W
Elevation of 1500 Ft

I plan to be on the air between 17:00 and 18:00 UTC.

This is what I will have with me.

SW-40+ Transceiver running 1.5 watts out.
40 meter dipole cut for 7.040 MHz with
20 feet of RG 8X feed line. The antenna will
be setup in the North/South direction.
Poqet PC for logging and keying.
7 aH battery solar charged.
Myself and tent with a thermos of coffee.

Look for me in or around 7.040 MHz.
If the is QRM I will move down to 7.035 MHz.

I plan to be there for about 2 or 3 hours using WB3AAL.
I will stay there until 20:00 UTC at the latest or until I can't make any more QSO's. If the wx turns and it starts to sleet or rain I will be out of there.

72 & 73
Good DXing
