Well it?s that time. This year we have permission to use the repeater site on the mountain. If you?re interested that is. We can, it seems, pretty much resume activities as before. As such we need some information:

Who?s interested in participating / helping?

Are you planning to bring a radio setup?

What band(s) would you prefer to operate?

Any interest in camping out Friday night?

I have the club antennas and will bring them either Friday evening or Saturday morning.

We need a generator. Because of the transient loads, especially CW, at least a 4kw has been found to work best. It seems that the larger units, while not needed for actual power, has the inertia in the armature to maintain speed under quick transient loads.

We also need a Field Day chairperson (Spence?)

Message-ID: <mailman.312.1623330787.3569.w8mwa@mailman.qth.net>

I?ve decided to upgrade my DMR radio. As I don?t need 2 I?m selling my TYT MD-380G handheld. Note this is the G model which has GPS built in, not that it?s used much with DMR. As such it requires the CPS software that supports it. The software for the MD-390 should work for this radio as well, but if you can find the 380G CPS software that works best. I?ll get it to you if you can?t find it for download. This is an older radio that has had the TYToolz firmware update done to it. This is a 3rd party user interface that adds a lot of features found on newer radios.

Anyhow this is a good cheap way to get into DMR if interested. Offering here before eBay.

Club special - $40.00. Radio, battery, charger, earphone/mic, stock and longer antenna.

    3Y0J Bouvet Island DXpedition Team Hasn?t Given Up the Ship

06/21/2021? arrl.org

*The Daily DX* <http://www.dailydx.com/>?has reported that the *3Y0J 
<https://3y0j.com/>* DXpedition team is still hoping to have a go at the 
island in 2023. The DXpedition team had planned to travel to Bouvet via 
the RV/Braveheart/, owned by Nigel Jolly, K6NRJ.

?Since the cancellation of 3Y0J, we have been working closely with Nigel 
Jolly to form a new plan, with a new owner of /Braveheart/ and a revised 
payment plan that enables Nigel Jolly to continue managing /Braveheart/ 
and will keep it available for DXpeditions for years to come,? said the 
announcement from DXpedition co-leader Paul Ewing, N6PSE. ?We are 
working out the details of this plan and hope to have some very positive 
news very soon. We have not given up!?

The Intrepid-DX Group *announced* 
<http://www.arrl.org/news/3y0j-dxpedition-to-bouvet-island-cancelled> 
earlier this month that it has canceled its long-anticipated DXpedition 
to Bouvet. Jolly told the DXpedition that the /Braveheart/ was being 
sold and he was canceling its contract for the 3Y0J voyage.

Can anone tell me
(1) the location?? Just saying "the repeater tower" isn't good enough.? The last two times (at least) I've tried to find the repeater tower for Field Day I've become hopelessly lost.? I found one parking lot with lots of cars with call sign license plates on them, but theh didn't know about MWA.? I found a man mowing the grass under a tall tower, but he was no help.? One day I ended up in Uniontown, Pennsylvanis!? And saying "we'll talk you in" isn't enough.? I have at least 4 handheld transceivers.? As I've cleaned house to move back in after over a year away, I've found two radios and two chargers, but no pair that works together.
(2) the schedule?

Frances asked about specific driving directions for tomorrow-

 If your GPS allows you to enter Lat/Long the input coords are
    39.69546,  -79762436

if not

Driving directions from Morgantown  -

I-68 to the Coopers Rock Exit.
Make left at the end of the exit and travel 0.14 miles to Old 73.
Make right on Old 73 and travel 0.5 miles to Chestnut Ridge Rd.
Make left on Chestnut Rd and travel 3.2 miles to the entrance of the WNPB
property which is hosting MWA Field Day and make a right.


The last mile or so of Chestnut Ridge rd is gravel.
