VA7EWK @ CO80mb (Whistler Mtn. BC) now
Hi!
I am atop Whistler Mountain, at just over 6000 feet/1850m elevation, with my HT and log periodic. I just worked an SO50 pass, and will try the next SO50 pass around 1933 UTC to the west. After that, over to AO27 for its 1940 UTC pass. Even at this elevation, I expect to miss the first 3 minutes of the 7-minute repeater time. Then it will be time for lunch. I may work other later passes from up here, or on a mountaintop closer to Vancouver (CN89), depending on when I leave Whistler.
73!

Any chance you can be up there for this years annual attempt at the Golden Packet cross country test on 25 July (Sunday)? (See July QST p 99). The west coast team to populate a dozen or so mountains from San Diego to Vancouver is forming: www.aprs.org/pct-golden-packet.html
This is a several hour event to try to get an APRS text message from one end to the other on RF.
Last years team attempting the Appalachian trail is also re-forming this year: www.aprs.org/at-golden-packet.html
