The QRP Ranger (left) and LNR Precision LD-11 transceiver (right)
After two months in Canada and one month spent catching up on work, I’m pleased to make some time this weekend to activate PK01 (the Blue Ridge Parkway) for the ARRL National Parks On The Air (NPOTA).
I’ll be joined by my good friend, Vlado (N3CZ) on August 28–we plan to set up at the Folk Art Center on the parkway around 11:00 EDT and be on the air by 11:30 EDT (15:30 UTC).
I plan to use the LNR Precision LD-11, QRP Ranger and EFT Trail Friendly Antenna combo. Vlado will either use his Icom IC-7000, Kenwood TS-480 or my Elecraft KX1.
Look for us on the following frequencies:
- CW: +/- 7031, 14061 kHz
- SSB: +/- 7286, 14286 kHz
Life has been so hectic after having been on the road for two months–I’m pleased to finally have a moment to play radio in the field again!
