The Great NC/SC SOTA/NPOTA Trip: 7/17/16- 7/19/16

Jul 16, 2016 | National Parks on the Air, NC, Summits on the Air, Trip

Getting out of the heat and heading down to western NC (south of Asheville) to activate several NPOTA/SOTA sites. Hopefully the 6000 feet elevation will cool things off a bit.

Schedule will be fluid as the trip down is pretty far from DC (8 hrs). No whining on accuracy of my schedule. Once I enter the backcountry all bets are off on timing. See my note at the end of this post about tracking me like a bear looking for a beehive.

7/17/16- 7/19/16:
NPOTA/SOTA:
Green Knob (North) PK01 + W4C/CM-020 8 points
Mt. Mitchell (highest peak on east coast) W4C/CM-001 10 points
Craggy Dome PK01 + W4C/CM-007 10 points
Lane Pinnacle PK01 + W4C/CM-018 10 points
Peach Knob W4C/CM-097 6 points

Mt. Pisgah W4C/CM-011 10 Points
Green Knob (South) W4C/CM-023 8 points
Black Balsams Knob W4C/CM-005 10 points
Richard Balsalm PK01 + W4C/WM-003 10 points
Rough Butt Bald W4C/WM-008 10 points

NPOTA:
Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site: NS07
Cowpens National Battlefield : BF03
Overmountain NHT: TR10
Kings Mountain National Military Park: MP06
Guilford Courthouse National Military Park: MP04

Freq: 2m (146.520); 20/40m CW & SSB.

To get an idea of where I am and where I am heading, follow me in real time: http://kb1hqs.com/…/live-delorme-inreach-satellite-tracking/

*Note: when the map loads, click on my name on the left side to view my current tracks.

Will self spot via DXSummit.fi, SOTAWatch and NPOTA/SOTA FB group pages.

From my research it looks like cell reception will be spotty at best.

Is anyone willing to give me their email or cell # that I send spots to via my Delorme (it can send either)?

73,
