We operate QRP (5 watts power), battery powered equipment for the duration. Exclusivly CW (morse code) so we'll be on the lower segments of the bands.
Look for K2ZR on the air (and no, it's not my call...) for you amateur operators that wish to participate and look for us. Things start at 2pm eastern.

I searched for a while, but couldn't find you. Heard many dozens of people camped out calling CQ, but perhaps you were one of those replying to them, although it's probably my antenna. Only one I have up operational right now is a long wire
aiming south. I've forgotten all my code, so I wouldn't have come back. I was using a PK232 to copy, but don't have it hooked up to send right now. Years ago, I used to use the PK232 to send and receive CW at about 80WPM, which was easier than struggling along at 5 wpm. Sounded like RTTY. Had a friend in Md who also had a PK232, and we'd wizz along. I heard some today that sounded like computer code, ie too regular.
I'll try listening again later.
Be back here again when time allows me to
