Now I’m wishing I had my mobile rig back on my truck oh well maybes next time.
Thanks for the heads up Dave.
Hi Alan
I’m not an antenna expert so someone else with more antenna experience may have some different advice, but my advice would be to get the wire as high as you can as close to the path as you want to go and just see how it plays. Sometimes you can surprise yourself with how good an antenna will work. You can spend a lot of time trying for perfection and not come up with results any better than you could get saying this is good I’m gonna try this out.
As far as confidence on HF goes you can start off by checking into the NARS 10 meter net On Sunday at 8:30 on 28.480 +/- Mhz. Also most hams are very good with new and returning hams to the hf bands. I’d even suggest trying out a state QSO party to dip you foot into contesting. Just listen for awhile to get the flow of the contest and what the station is looking for for an exchange. It goes quick your talking to them for 5 seconds or so. It’s and quick way to get some time in on the radio without the expectation of having to come up with the next part of a conversation like you do when your rag chewing.
Good luck hope to hear you on the bands

yes I tried to add a photo several months ago and ran into the issue of the file size.
No matter what i did with my phone and no matter how i cropped it i was still over the 40 kb limit. I’ll try playing around with MS paint if that’s the hot setup?
Hi Craig
I plan on operating field day and would like to have my score included in the aggregate score for the club.

Hi Scott
Welcome to the club! Yeah it looks like the next couple meetings will be online via the zoom app instead of face to face, but no matter we will find a way to make it fun. There will also be a 40 meter net ( freq approx 7.260) after the meeting. Looking to next months membership meeting we will be joined by Bob Heil.
Not a problem. This sounds like an exciting project and a way to really increase our field day performance. Glad I can bring something to the table to help out on this one.
