9 review:




my personal experiences:

- Radio things went pretty smoothly, although we didn't test CW or digital, and those are probably the two biggest
trouble-makers on Field Day.

- It sounds like Carol's radio is going to be left set up for CW, so hopefully that one doesn't pose any
(re)configuration problems. Al (KB0VGG) expressed concerns with using the popular 7300's for voice since they
comparatively poorly filtered on their transmit. So at least one 7300 will probably be getting used for digital,
with the club's 897 (and possibly the other 7300) being used for voice.

- Solar EMI was discovered (on both the 60-watt foldable and the Epever) but the filters weren't helping as much
as they should have. might be a proximity problem, needs grounding, or both. I'll see if I can assemble another
filter or two to provide us with better variety for Field Day.

- Mark's grey lithium pack needed powerpole connectors added.

- The lower latch on the extension pole for my Talk-In radio broke, not sure if it can be fixed, needs to be replaced,
or can be ignored. I may just end up moving the upper latch to the bottom.
