Saturday in the Park was a nice day for Fred-k2ldc
and myself (Tom-aa2vk). Weather was mostly sunny about
72f.
Many of the other members were involved in Cow
Harbor 10k run so were unable to make our
meet.
(So much for good scheduling of the day's
events.)
Fred was running his Icom 703+ with his NUE-PSK
Digital modem ( PSK and RITTY ) using a Vern Wright portable
antenna.
(See pic below or www.nue-psk.com)
He had also brought along a couple of
newly built kits including a DC40 (www.qrpkits.com) which was nicely stuffed into
a mint tin.
I
was operating a 703 also using a simple 40ft wire into the tree. I was able to
work a few stations on SSB @ 5w
(
including US-OK,OH with Finland, Germany, and Spain on
17m)
Another note of interest, a
reporter from My Long Island TV (http://www.mylitv.com/
) came down and
recorded interviews with Fred and
myself.
This clip is to be aired sometime in the future on the local
FIOS channel and then posted to the above site. After the clip
is
aired I will be able to add a link here for members to see
the interviews ( and see how crazy us hams look
).
Hope to see more members in the
future,
all best

It was a good day for LIQRP in the park...weather

There were there 4 k2s ... and, a
few 703s with 9 members. Running CW, SSB and a digital station... with a nice
selection of antennas.
John's elevated inverted V, a Crappy verticle, Neil's
mystery antenna (ala g5rv?), Lou's EFHWA, My tennis ball verticle wire,
Fred's-K2LDC MP1, and a couple more.
