Below are a couple emails that detail a neat story about how a
VHF Contest group made a positive impression on a young lady
hiking the Appalachian Trail.

Subject: Good ambassadors.
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 wasa 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."

That was the W2LV guys from the Sussex County ARC (NJ). They have
been operating there for over 30 years now, and have always treated
visitors well. They are indeed Good Ambassadors! I am happy to call
them my friends.
