10/20/2004 | KB1VC August Saturday was a blowout -- after a few hours the wind took my
tripod and dish over and wiped out the 2W final. After an evening of
metal bashing I got a new amp together and headed for Mt. Wachusett
for a much better Sunday.

September brought more weather, but I was prepared -- I brought the
LL Bean 6 Man Nylon Radome to Block Island to the operation with
W1GHZ and W1AIM. The wind was ferocious -- a steady 35+ knots --
and the radome shows it. The rain eventually washed us off the
roof.

September Sunday was much nicer. Gentle breezes, no precipitation. -- KB1VC
