Re: Field Day 2022
I am planning on being there some.? Pretty Princess has a softball tournament that weekend, and, since I am the team's coach, I probably should be there.? I dont know the schedule yet and with tournament play never know how long we will be there.? So, I have no idea when I can be there or how long I can stay, but I am in.? How is that for a vague, non-committal commitment?
I built an 64:1 unun that should easily take 100W if you want to add another wire (EFHW) to a wire antenna farm. |

Condx are difficult, but I've heard some interesting transmissions that appear to be related to the ongoing situation in Eastern Europe on at least 4.724 USB and 8.131 USB. Intermittent but interesting, ranging from 33 to 59. There's probably some digital that I'm missing as well. And I got on to do a little CW; stuck in SWL mode instead. 73, KI4YSP |
