So... I didn't order a new radio... but I did just order a new antenna. Time to do some experimenting before next , maybe even use it for WI in September and in January...

Was just TXTing with my son, who has a big camper trailer their fam-o--4 takes out frequently. Good job, boy!

Lamenting that I've not had luck finding a cheap/small camper on CraigsList when I've looked. Then it dawned on me. I have a ice fishing amphibious vehicle. It's big enough to be a 1-person camper. I've intended to do in it.

It just needs some "summer-izing". It's designed to keep heat in, with no thought to mosquitoes.

Slight mods - can work.

I couldn't get the aggregator done in time to submit logs for our , but I could at least hack together a that does most of the dirty work. Still had to change a few things by hand, like correcting the frequency/band field for contacts, and computing the CLAIMED-SCORE but it's nothing that couldn't handle. of our club for showing such for !

This started disastrously with me getting my arborist throw line tangled between two tree limbs. But after 20 minutes, I finally got the antenna, a 41 ft. sloper, raised.

I only had time for a 2 hour operation, but managed 54 contacts across 40, 20, and 15 meters with the Xiegu G90. There seemed to be a lot of activity, which bodes well for this event.

It was chilly (upper 30s F) but after looking through other posts, it looks like we got off pretty easy.

Beautiful day for some radio today! Talked to folks around the country and the local scenary in the park wasn't too shabby either.

with was fun today. Setup my new Harbor Freight flagpole mast in the park today. Didn't make any contacts, but learned a lot with getting everything setup and troubleshooting the radio... and swapping out antennas. Plastic bags on the guy wires to make them more visible. Maybe black wasn't the best color choice... next time, flagging tape to highlight them. Did hear Canada on my 20m antenna, once I got the FT891 setup right. Only ended up w/30min on the air.

While waiting to pick things up for work, I tried to hit a few repeaters with my HT from my truck. Very, very quiet. Thus ends my annual "I should try to hit a repeater" attempt.

SPARC in the park. We operated for about four hours. Made 22 contacts and several new friends. Farthest contact was South Carolina.

Having a great time with winter field day! We had some visitors stop over and say hello. They worked a distant station on 2M with 5 watts.

Currently operating on all bands as a 3-Oscar under VE3SKY.

Lots of success on 28.408 USB
