Club Activities
ARRL Field Day
June 26-27, 2010
Washington Fairgrounds
Saturday, June 5th, at 8:30 AM
All club members are asked to attend a training seminar for safe, proper antenna/ tower assembly, erection, lowering and disassembly.
Plan to meet at the Washington Co. fairgrounds. We should be finished around noon.
We will be in the grass lot East of last years field day location.
Please attend, especially if you plan to participate in Field Day this year!!
Contact me with any questions! Thanks.. 73, Mark Lukins- ABØDX
A trial run with the new equipment is proposed before Field Day.
Regular net each Monday evening at 7:00 PM, local time, on the 147.045 MHz repeater.
The new antenna is up and fully operational as of Saturday afternoon, November 07, 2009.
(And doing a great job per the signal reports we heard!) Much better range than previously.
Thanks to all who helped make it a success, including my tower crew, ACØDG, and KCØYHU (who came all the way from Urbandale to help), as well as the many who helped as the ground crew. It was a team effort and that's what it took.
We sincerely appreciate ALL who showed up at the site, even if just for moral support!!
We decided NOT to increase the height at this time due to more stiffening of the tower bracing needed to make it safe and secure to climb as well as an increased length of feedline (Heliax)needed.
Enjoy the pictures, compliments of KCØYHU and wife Barb (No callsign...yet)

2007 ARRL Field Day The WAARC set up Field Day in a county park at Riverside, Iowa. The daughter of Jerry Schroder (KCØWWV) operating and my youngest son, Mitch, logging the contacts with me, (ABØDX), in the middle. Isn't it good to see young people take an interest in Ham radio??? |
