GORC Backpacker Calling Frequency!
10.116mhz
Please check 30m on 10.116mhz for any ham radio backpacker outside looking for a qso. Yes most backpackers don't want a quick qso, but would rather "talk" to the other amateur radio operator. Most use qrp as to conserve weight and size in their pack. So keep a sharp ear out on 10.116mhz for those backpackers out on the trails!
