Update: 8/31/2016 – WA3WSJ
If you take a look at Angels Landing, you’ll see that I really can’t 
pack much radio gear to operate up top. So, my plan is to use my Elecraft KX2 as an HT.
I’ll put a few MFJ Telescopic antennas on 18.089, 14.061 and 10.116
My plan is to hike up to the landing and operate. I hope to start on Wednesday, September 8th, around 1500-1600utc.- maybe earlier. If you work me, please post me.
We will will be at Zion NP starting September
7 and 8. We will operate from numerous parts of the park.

On August 12 and 13, the Pottstown Area Amateur Radio Club operated and did demos of amateur radio for the public. This was our third year at the fair. Thanks go to Wes N3HWH who got the club involved back in 2014. It is a wonderful opportunity to show off to the public what amateur radio has to offer to individuals and to their communities. (more…)
