Field Day 2017
June 24th & 25th, 2017
Amateur Radio Field Day is
held at the Fall River - Freetown
State Forest Ranger station.
Heavy downpours are what we were
greeted with during setup. Luckily
we were making good time when this started and still got on air on time.
It's not fun setting up in the
rain.
W2DAN takes a break for some
mountain bike riding in the Freetown Forest.
W2DAN & N1KM did about 14 miles
in the forest. N1JOY had to bail out early because of a mechanical
problem.
N1PMB came by to help set up and
do some drone flying with N1JOY.
KC1BXY had a great run on the
GOTA station.
KB1TQB sweating at the solar
powered station.
We didn't get many non-Ham
visitors, but we were ready!
Here was our humble setup.
5 Elemnt tri-band Yagi for 10/15/20 & 5 element Yagi for 6 Meters.
The HF Yagi was shared by 2 radios through an HF triplexer.
N1JOY & KB1TQB's son, Evan.
Eternally curious and full of fun.
Our simple yet very effective 40
Meter full sized vertical.
WA1BXY was our CW machine for the
duration.
