Ham Radio chat with the Continental Divide Expedition

[1leglance]

sorry we missed everyone...
the 15th was a crazy day....was that just yesterday?
anyway we ran into some issues getting down off some serious high passes in colorado around breckenridge...at 12900 ft with the sun setting and a storm rolling in and all our ways were blocked!
It took some exploring and ham radio really helped with that.
But we were still trying to get off the mountain at 8pm and still outside breckenridge so sorry we missed everyone.
I might have been able to reach a repeater from way up there but 1st priority was getting off the mountain.

Bummer! Looks like the node in your area was down last night - I tried both direct to 3502 and 9252 about 8:00 PM AZ time last night.

Just FYI 3093 is down currently so contact tonight may not happen. I'll hit the reflector anyway though!

It was up at 11:30 today, and down tonight...I tried again about 6:50 to 7:00 PM MST with no luck.
