If you cannot work the fest,
come down and get some raffle tickets.. I heard that we have received prizes of
$$$ value from vendors..
Another meeting of the Field
Day committee is taking place on Monday(today)
It is good to check things out prior to an event. The antennas were over at N8KQS’s house to be checked out.. Raised the first one in the air and it was over the top of the house.. The Comet analyzer showed bad on all bands.. then all the other antennas did also… The antennas were brought to a different location (KA9BXG) and they checked good.
Remembered the same
thing happened when checking the antenna
at St. Norbert. The Comet folks said the analyzer was getting unwanted rf from
the cell tower equipment on the roof. Nothing wrong with the antenna..
At the house, since the
antennas were built, new security cameras were installed .. wireless.. stray
rf..
OK.. looking forward to Field
Day, how about you?? June 24-25

RADIO STUFF…
Ever
wonder if there are any Ham radio operators that may have moved in near
you? There is a map you can bring up
with that information… Usually you can see an antenna tower poke out of the
trees or on top of a roof.. But there may be a Tech with a HT right now while
working on their General level. Or you
may be looking for an Elmer that lives near by..

Shack
The Shack
committee will be tieing in a grounding system on the 8th in the
afternoon.. this will ground all our equipment in the room. This project will also
put in antenna switches with arrestors and dummy loads. Phase two will have the
antennas, coax grounded and have arrestors installed .. (unknown date at this
time, but soon)
Winlink P2P / or FLdigi
Ever
think about sending printed message forms from one radio to another without a
repeater? What if the repeaters are down and you want to contact another ham
buddy and leave a message? Person to person messaging just like the old packet
without the “mailbox” … perhaps a TechTalk in a month from now…
