I will be on an Arizona summit (W7A/YV-077) around 1400 looking for EU…CW and SSB on 10/15/20 meters…maybe some 12 meter if it is open. Will stay on the air as long as I continue to hear EU on any band.
Running about 25 watts this year…nice clear shot to EU from my summit…hoping the flares stay away for sure.
There’s a two-hour break in the rain forecast from ~1300utc [although the wx forecast for G/LD is notorious for changing a lot]. So, I hope to be under tarp then for 17, 15, 12 and 10m CW [other bands possible with my Cha MPAS Lite vertical].
I’ll be lugging >13kg of rucksack so I can be QRO (25-30W) for a rare change with my bulky FT857, big battery and ATU [instead of my little KX2]. I hope that will improve my chances of being heard on N/A summits.
I’ll be on G/NP-028 from 1300 to 1600UTC, perhaps longer. Plan is to use 15m, 12m and 10m but will have other bands available if needed. Weather is forecast to get better as the day goes on so I’m hopeful. I had S2S with US a couple of weeks ago on 20m and 10m so fingers crossed for tomorrow.
