The group will often discuss HF
issues during the General Meeting coffee and doughnut break or gather for a
short meeting following the General Meeting. |
|
To coordinate HF (short wave) communications activities from the BEARS
Ham Shack/Trailer and from the field location during
Field Day. |
|
Available
modes include CW, SSB, AM, FM (10 meters and above) and a number of
digital modes. Operating positions have station logs, copies of
equipment manuals and an HF Operators Guide to help you get the most
from your operating time. Operators are limited to the operating
privileges of their license unless special arrangements for a Control
Operator with higher license are made. Please contact
Larry, AA7UA,
with any questions or comments
about HF operations or the station hardware.

From time to

Listen for announcements at the BEARS General Meetings and in the newsletter
or contact
Don W7VXS,
our Contest Chairperson, if you are interested in contesting or have any
questions relating to contesting software. |
We have two
50-foot towers with Yagi antennas that cover the Ham Bands from 20
through 6 meters. In addition we have a very large loop antenna that
provides excellent coverage on the lower bands including 160 Meters.
See the Site layout.
The site
provides an HF antenna range capability. We have four 50-foot wooden
poles spaced over 140 feet apart with ropes and pulleys attached.
Raising an antenna for check-out and test is an easy operation. |
