  • Well Prepared Emergency Equipped Shack at K3SWJ

    06/30/2005 | K3SWJ

    I operated 1E from South Texas (Austin). The conditions on the bands were pretty abysmal but the new Ten-Tec Orion really dug stations out of the muck. I had trouble working all I could hear which was a pleasant change. I hope to have a better tempo... Read More

    We had a great Field Day this year, and hope everyone else did too.

    We especially enj... Read More

  • KC4YNZ and N4FWD setting up the information table.

    06/29/2005 | W4FWD

    We had bunches of fun at the Field Day site. Of course, all Field Day sites need the "arm chair" supervisor to insure the proper erection of antennas. A young lady was able to contact a Canadian Field Day site. Unfortunately, the day turned to rain, bu... Read More

  • 06/29/2005 | N2HQX

    This was our second field day for our club. We again had a lot of fun while we let some of the techs get a taste of contesting and the fun of being a general or higher. Hopefully this will encourage them to upgrade. Read More
