Hi Nick,

If the weather is dry, I am interested in going up in the morning. I do a lot of bicycle camping, but my gear is not really the best for cold winter temps. However, this is subject to change should I come across more appropriate gear.

I gave out a few Q's last year to some of the brave souls that operated in sub freezing weather. A couple of them were in near blizzard conditions. That is true dedication.

Happy holidays to you and all of you in the group,

Tim, k6om

Hello,
Freeze Your Butt Off 2010 should occur the first saturday in February, the 6th.  I'm tossing around the idea of going backpacking locally for the contest that weekend.  Monte Bello Open Space Preserve is the only OSP that has camping.  It's very close to Russian Ridge where some of use have been before and has a pit toilet and potable water.  It's a very quick 1-2 mile hike from the parking lot to the campsite, about 500' up.  Is anyone interested in heading up there with me?  The contest runs from 6AM PST to 4PM on that Saturday; I'd be heading up on Friday and camping the night.  If 3-4 of us want to head up there I could reserve the group camp site which will give us plenty of room to spread out.

Solo Outing today

#6

QRPopsters,

?

I ended up doing solo this afternoon at Windy Hill. You don't know what you missed because the band condx was superb, one the best in a long while, on both?17 and 20 until about 3pm. No noise; between stations on the dial you might?think the band is dead because it?is so radio quiet.?I susupect 15 might have been open, too, but I didn't check.?I was on the air for less than one hour. It?got so windy and?cold up there so I folded at about 3:30. In quick succession, I worked a whole bunch of midwest?and?east coast stations. Actually I had more eye-ball QSOs as I was using my Cantenna Espresso (the 16 illy espresso can vertical) which attracted a lot of curious hikers who kept interrupting my on-air QSOs.

Nick,

This is very intriguing. Can you arrange a public in-person demo some time in the near future? Also, any interesting pictures from your JA expedition?

Ops this weekend!

QRPopsters,

Sorry for the late response.

I am open for outing this afternoon, though not tomorrow.? If no one is organizing/planning a specific place, I would suggest that we go to Windy HIll, parking at the south?side?parking lot on Skyline Blvd. If I don't hear from anyone I will be there at 2pm anyway. WX looks excellent.

Howdy folks,
A couple of you have seen this but I figured I'd send it to the group for comments.? This is a demo of a project I've been working on.?

Hopefully in January when things quiet down after the holidays I'll be able to fix the audio timing issues.

Let me know what you think,
Nick

I'm moving this weekend and then we have the holiday parties.? Looks like I won't be able to get out until January.
