Only two Mountains remaining to be covered for this historic event.
Killington, Vermont and Clingman?s dome in the Great Smokies National
Park. On Saturday, 20 July, Just drive up to the parking lots, set up a
small mast to clear the cars with an Omni dual band vertical and play
APRS (and other) Radios for 4 hours starting at noon.
W9AE replies:
If you put up a fixed mast in a popular parking lot in Great Smoky
Mountains National Park, it would likely take much less than 4 hours for
a park ranger to tell you that you can't do that without a permit.
In general, U.S. National Parks have a uniform policy of NEVER issuing
permits for temporary radio stations.
You could use antennas mounted on your vehicle, but the National Park
Service does not tolerate ground-mounted "radio stations" in public places.

I'm sorry I didn't get to work everyone on SO-50 who called me this morning
when I was in DE but I just wasn't hearing the bird as well as I would of
liked to. I did work 3 of you, so I guess the trip was worth it. I was
thinking of making the early morning passes tomorrow, but it is just too
early for me to realistically think I could get there in time. I will be on
at my summer home (with the good antennas in SNJ :-) ) for the rest of the
event. I hope to work everyone from NJ as K2I.....

Solar Impulse flying up Jersey Coast NOW (9 AM Saturday).
Need an APRS operator to watch position on
http://live.solarimpulse.com/ and then maintain an active object on
APRS RF so that all mobiles can see the aircraft on their mobile
radios and be able to lookup and see it.
Its the size of a 747 wingspan but the mass of a volkswagon and
completely solar powered.
Use the OBJECT NAME of SOLAR1.
Thanks, Bob, WB4APR

Just a quick reminder that you must have your AMSAT Field Day results
received by me no later than Monday, July 8, 2013 at 23:59 PM Central
Time. If I do not receive them, your group will not be listed in the
AMSAT Field Day story in the journal and they will be mad at you. We
have had 14 submissions so far, last year we had 19. I hope we beat that
number.
Even if your group made one contact, turn it in. That shows you
participated in AMSAT Field Day and succeeded in the feat of getting
through the mess to complete your contact. A lot of groups were unable
to accomplish one.

SOLAR1 is showing a nice track on aprs.fi, with interesting telemetry. I had
the privilege of watching her leave Phoenix, into the dawn sunrise, on her
way to DFW.
