[AReU] Antenna testing at Davis Park on Saturday

[Tony Stone]

If the weather holds, it looks like we will have a pre-Field Day antenna 
testing party at Davis Park this Saturday (June 14, 2003). Ed is planning 
on getting the pavillion up among the trees early Saturday morning. 

I will be over around 7:30 AM with a thermos of coffee and some 
breakfast for Ed and myself. If anyone would like to come early just 
stop by somewhere and get a breakfast to go and come join us. I would 
assume that this would replace the weekly breakfast at the Village inn. 

If the weather is bad then the Village Inn would be the place to show 
up. A call on the Brandon repeater will undoubtly get the information 
you need to get to the right place. 

Rod (KC4MMR) has an antenna he would like to check out and I have 
an antenna that I got from an estate sale to try out. It looks like a G5RV 
of some sort but I have never seen one exactly like it. Rod is bringing 
some "jet line" for hanging the antennas in the trees so we should be 
able to get them up pretty high. I will bring my fishing outfit to get 
the anchor points as high as possible. Ed is talking about using a bow 
and arrow to launch the "tag line". Come on down to see the results. 

Watch where you stand when we are "launching" the "tag line". 

I plan on packing up around noon and I can't forsee us not being done 
with the testing by then. 

Hope to see you folks there.
