Club Activities
4th Annual Picnic Table Portable Ops & Foxhunt Event!!!
Saturday, September 26th, 2009
CANCELLED due to weather and will be rescheduled
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)
