Field day egg beater antennas
|
Hello everybody,
Field day this year will be held at the Klamath?Falls Airport in?the?same location as last year.? Setup is late afternoon on?this Friday June 25th.? Operations begin at 11:00 AM on Saturday June 26th and extend to Sunday June 27th.? A pot luck picnic will follow and everybody is welcome.? We are in need of CW operators but any ham regardless of class that wants to put their butt in a chair and operate any mode is welcome.??
In preparation for field day we decided to add some satellite antennas to the club trailer.? We purchased a set from M squared and mounted them on the tower.? The bicycle chain and sprockets?keep them in the proper orientation?regardless of whether the tower is up or down.? Here are a couple pics:
BTW,? here are the set of frequencies currently loaded into the FT-8800 for working satellites:
