AMSAT Rovers:

We desperately need 2 APRS Mountaintop weekenders for 4 hours on Saturday 20 July for the Annual APRS Golden Packet event from Maine to Georgia along the Appalachians. Goal is APRS messages the full length and into Canada.

One needed station is in SW Virginia on top of Comers Rock near Wythville, VA and one in Northern Va on Hawksbill Mountain east of Harrisonville, VA. All of the other 15 mountains are signed up.

It is a 4 hour event 11 AM to 3 PM. Both of these sites are drive-up except for the last hundred yards or so to the best operating position.
