A young woman thru-hiking the Appalachian trail from Georgia to Maine
writes about how she was treated well by a Multiop on the Appalachian
Trail in the vicinity of the Delaware Water Gap (probably east of DWG).
Anybody know what station this was?
"A couple miles in I ran into a bunch of guys at the top of a mountain.
There was
a tower and the were assembling their own radio tower. They were very
sweet and
offered me a seat in the shade under their tarp and a cold Pepsi. They
told me
how they were in a competition, where the winner makes the most contacts
with
their radios. This team had only five. The team on Graylock has dozens
and they
only ever lost three times, apparently it was a huge deal. These guys
have been
doing this for longer then I'm old."

K1CMF June results,

There were Es on 6 most of Saturday and almost all of Sunday.  Sometimes
only 1 or 2 stations were coming through on Es,  sometimes many.  2
meters was dead.
