Field Day
Submitted by N4ZIQ on Wed, 06/30/2010 - 21:32We had a great field day! The Orange and Osceola teams did an outstanding job! Setup started around 0830 and was completed by 1030 with few issues. We installed one G5RV on the parking garage between the light poles. Two more dipoles were installed on the pneumatic mast in the side parking lot. We operated 4 HF stations of which one was PSK. We had a great deal of fun and comraderie. The food was great, and it was nice to work Field Day in the air conditioning!
145.350 Repeater Antenna Changed!
Submitted by N4ZIQ on Thu, 06/17/2010 - 15:30As of 6/17/2010 the 145.350 has a new antenna. It is the same make and model as the old one, and is performing much better. We suspect the phasing harness on the old antenna had gone bad, and initial results seem to confirm our suspicions. The last test performed at 436 and Pershing Ave, we had a 7 S-Unit signal and we were full quieting into the repeater. Initial results look positive. Give it a try! Joe/N4ZIQ
