Lee KC1GKJ, Joe AC1LN, and Fred AB1OC got together today to configure our radios and loggers for 2022 Field Day and do a Field Day Test. We focused on the 80m/15m/10m station as it is the most complicated of our four planned stations at Field Day.
Field Day Station Setup – 80m/15m/10m
We also configured a second computer running N1MM+ for use with the 20m station. We used both PCs to check out log sharing,

which will be used at Field Day. Thanks to Joe and Lee for the great work to prepare NARS for Field Day 2022 and complete our Field Day Test.

The final SOTA hike of 2021 will be to Kidder Mountain on November 6th. The summit is reached via a 3.2 mi trail that starts from route 123 (turnpike rd.) Just a short drive from the center of New Ipswich. Windblown cross-country ski trails are on the left side of the road. Our trail follows the route of the Wapack trail which crosses the road from the left and then heads towards Kidder on the right-hand side of the road. Plan to meet at the parking area at 10:00 and we’ll head up from there.
Trail reports are talking about the trail being muddy so hiking boots are highly recommended. Also, make sure to have a fleece jacket and shell to keep the wind off of you.
Please reply in the comments section if you’re coming so I know how many people to expect.
