Sorry to report that N8V will be a no show in VINTon county this year.
The operator, N8XX, must be getting to be a real olde fogey because he
feels that being in a very isolated place like the Pretty Run Nature
Preserve along the Buckeye/North Country National Scenic Trail could be
hazardous to one's health. The camp site is at creek level, about 200
feet or more lower than the tops of the hills. There is no cell phone
service, no water, no electicity, no "indoor plumbing" not even an
outhouse at the site. A person from the Buckeye Trails Association
described a site on top of the hills where cell phone service is
available, but it at least a mile along the trail in a zig-zag route to
get there.
So valor is the better part of discretion (or the converse), so I'll
forego operating from VINTon county during the Ohio QSO party this
year. It would have been easy to set a new record for QRP operation in
that county, since there is no record for such operation. :)
I trust that next year thingss will be a bit better, and I can visit
VINTon county to set a new record.
