back to 2026.06.27 Summer Field Day Lookout Park

4 stations and operators:




After some initial discussion on radio and antenna placement, stations were set up thusly:

- Nathan (N0ZYC) set up the talk-in radio on the NorthWest corner, connected to a push-up dual-band antenna
  and listening on the 146.94 repeater, but there was very little traffic

- Scott (W3STS) set up his FT-710 on 6m digital on the North side, connected by a long ladder line to a 6m
  vertical off to the North of the shelter

- Mark (N8TWO) set up his IC-7300 on the West side, connected to an end-fed long wire on a push-up pole that
  stretched out to a tree far to the East.

- Dave (KD0DK) had power-up problems with his radio (IC-7300?) on the South side and wasn't able to use it.
  The radio had power to the board, but it wouldn't turn it on and resisted efforts to try to reset it.

- Doug (K0DV), Dave (KD0DK), Dave (K0CQH), and John (WB0MAR) ran CW on the club's IC-7600,
  connected to an inverted-V tape dipole on a pushup pole on the SouthWest corner stretching North-South
 
- the club's FT-897 was on standby for use as a GOTA station with a horizontal dipole on the North side
  stretching East-West but no guests/scouts showed up to use it

GOTA and 6m don't count toward our class, so the other two stations gave us a 2-India class.
