FW: Help Operating for Fire Prevention Week
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHere is the request from K7NM for some local operators to operate/contest using ?N7F any time from Oct 6-12 that I QST¡¯d on the net tonight. ?Every call letter district gets an NxF call sign and Lee would like the 7 region to be represented. Feel free to Email Lee if you have an interest. WA7MKN ? From: Lee Barrett <leejudybarrett@...>

I have to be at Montana State University during Fire Prevention Week this year - so can't operate as N7F this year as I have for the previous decade.? There are awards for working all call district NxF's and one Canadian active station.? So no N7F would put a wrench in the works.? ? Can you please help?? Or announce it to any of the HF capable hams in the 7 call district you know?? Any day, any mode, any time for any period... All is acceptable.? I will collect the logs at the end.? ? 6 October 00:00 GMT to 12 October 23:59 GMT is the period.? The call is N7F (reserved under my call K7NM).? Be ready for pile-ups - they do happen!? ? Sure would appreciate folks covering some of it (or all if anyone can).? ? Please pass my email to anyone interested and will do contribute to the effort.? I will give further instructions to the participants. ? Thanks a lot! ? Kind regards and 73, ? Lee Barrett - K7NM ? PS - I will be in Bozeman for several days with intermittent trips to Yellowstone and to Hamilton to see my mother - depending on weather.? It would be great to have an eyeball QSO sometime while there if your schedule fits a time and place.? ? ?

Re: MOBILE/PORTABLE ANTENNA EXPO
Ronnie, Excellent!? I have found it very entertaining to watch a CW operator!? I'm sure others would love to watch a CW operator as well!? You may just be the star of the show!?? The Parks On The Air rules for activating a park are a minimum of 10 contacts for a successful activation.? I recommend grabbing a few more QSO's just to make sure I have the minimum for a successful activation (12-15 QSO's).?? Thank you, Stacy KK7CJV

Re: MOBILE/PORTABLE ANTENNA EXPO
Matt, Wonderful!? Yes any of the local 4x4 clubs or backcountry folks could benefit from viewing mobile set-ups!? I am even thinking of bringing the RZR to show a mobile side by side set up as well.?? Thank you, Stacy KK7CJV

Thanks, Stacy. I've shared this event with 406 Cruisers, the local Toyota 4x4 club. I'm guessing there will be several folks interested in seeing mobile setups. Regards, Matt KJ7CTH On Sun, Aug 18, 2024 at 9:20?PM Stacy KK7CJV via <stroscoe2001=[email protected]> wrote:

Re: Hyalite Peak Activation - 8/11/24
I tried to make contact but was too late or my Yagi did not hit the right spot. I will keep trying during your future exploits! KA7ROL Carol On Mon, Aug 12, 2024 at 3:35?PM Mickey KK7NNE via <mrl3777=[email protected]> wrote:

Re: Hyalite Peak Activation - 8/11/24
Great pics, Spencer! As far as HT antennas are concerned, I use an ALS-9 antenna with my Anytone UV-whatever and it works great. Collapses down to about a foot, and extends to around 3 feet fully extended.Uses an SMA connector.? As far as wind noise is concerned, do you use a Mic with your HT? I use one on all my HT's that I use on a regular basis (a couple of Anytone 878UV's, a Yaesu VX8, and an Icom-something I inherited from my Father-in-Law after he passed away). Using a Mic makes it much easier to mitigate wind noise. Anyway, I'm glad you had good weather and a good climb. I climbed Hyalite Peak around 25 years ago. Today?I'm happy to make it to Grotto Falls. :} --Walt KB0VHB On Mon, Aug 12, 2024 at 10:49?AM Spencer KJ7SSS via <spencershuman=[email protected]> wrote:

Re: Hyalite Peak Activation - 8/11/24
Spencer, I was in the same boat as Mickey, I could hear others mentioning that they made contact with you but couldn't hear your call.? Re: recommendations for a HT antenna, I have a Nagoya 771 that is OK, but prefer the Signal Stick dual band with the BNC connector so I can easily swap out/disconnect for storage (SMA connectors can be a bit fragile): Two bonus points (at least for me): Buying a Signal Stick antenna supports to get new hams on the air/up their license and the antenna is great for mobile scanners in the 150-512 Mhz range like the Bearcat 125at that I've got :) - Dan Douthit On Mon, Aug 12, 2024 at 3:35?PM Mickey KK7NNE via <mrl3777=[email protected]> wrote:
