Power will be from a 12V SLA that will be recharged from a couple solar panels and a hub dynamo/voltage tripled charger. Usually 8 hours cycling allows about 1 hour operating, if sunny the solar power improves on that :-)
Transport will be the bicycle and /P station will be QRP only using FT817, Z11 ATU a ATX-100 base loaded whip and W3EDP. I'll not be operating /M.
QSO locations will be reported on air to nearest major landmark or milestone but may also be recorded from NMEA messages from a GPS widget incorporated into a ASUS eeePC 701 4G that I'll have with me for PSK et al.
Modes will be SSB, PSK, CW and possibly SSTV(SSTV never happened as dropped the camera!)
I'll be stopping in at Friedrichshafen 2010 http://www.hamradio-friedrichshafen.de/ham-en/index.php on the Friday and Saturday so perhaps see you in the Messe.
Logging I'll try and use LoTW, eQSL and normal buro.
QSL cards when I get back :-)
I had thought about posting logs on the blog but might not always be able to.
