[SMCARA] [Bulk] Field Day

Fri May 1 08:52:57 EDT 2015

In that event we can use your antenna with the Triplexer setup to operate several bands simultaneously on the parallel dipole.  We need some sort of support such as some tower sections or push up masts, along with the readily available "indigenous" support (trees and N3PX tower!).  Perhaps 30 feet or so of the OD green surplus mast will work.  On the lower bands it will be a bit of a "cloud warmer" at that height, so we might want to also consider putting up a vertical to use when the bands go long.  

The club has some wire antennas, separate  80 and 40 meter dipoles as I recall. 

OBTW what are the call signs for "Robert" and "Carl"?

I can rig up a multi-band dipole, using an ugly balun with wires for
40/20/15/10 - I'll also be bringing my TS-480S Go-Box kit to be used where-ever you need it.  I'll also be bringing along my Buddi-Pole - maybe use it for a GOTA station?

My son will also be coming to FD this year and has offered to bring along his TS-440S and a vertical antenna - let me know if we need it.

I have just been notified that the portable tower that we normally use for Field Day is not going to be available this year. We may be yagi - less this year.
