**FINAL NOTICE**

NVIS Day tomorrow, April 27^th, 2024

Ward Farm Park Dunkirk, Md

10am-4pm

Bring your chair, shade/sunscreen, and refreshments. We will be operating a Yaesu FT-710 and Xiegu X6100(not at the same time) with a 9:1 unun and 71ft “random” wire to practice our “local” HF skills.

NVIS is a great Ecomm skill for times when repeaters are down and VHF/UHF simplex just isn’t cutting it! The goal is to lower the antenna to increase the take-off angle thus decreasing the skip zone to communicate in a more local/regional scenario. Not something we practice frequently so it should be a fun challenge.

Included is a map of the park. The red X is our set up location but it shouldn’t be too hard to find us. Weather is looking pretty good at this point so we hope to see folks there.
