MJR Field Day 2010

[SAR Jeeper]

Christian, Congrat,s on passin yer test I saw you posted...good stuff, I know Steve(SarJeeper) and the others with radio,s love it!!

Geebo was helping me pull down my antenna this morning.

Christian...please come out to the Field Day event...Table Mountain Campground near Wrightwood. You should still have my cell. Call me if you want to camp, I have room for 1 more vehicle. If you don't call, I'll offer it to someone else. So, it'll cost you a whopping $5 per night.

Also in the campground will be the IRC Radio Club. A lot of knowledge with that group, and a lot of nice people.

I am in Campsite #10, Roger is in #8. Even if for the day, come on out on Saturday!

I'll post photo's when I get home!

Fire, ah, so that is what happened to you guys
I made field day with one of the Las Vegas Clubs, and was set up in a not so local park. got there around 3 and they were doing the usual 5, 10, 20 meter in different modes, I got a ride on a yeasu 897 running 20 and tried to hit TM but had no response so I turned to the midwest for a while till I gave up the mic, Filled in 5 areas of contact for the group in the band. Fun for me began that night when we went back and we I set up on HF, was on a sweet kenwood setup for a while doing 80 then caught a seat on 160, guy had a strait key and I found a mood bounce for about 3 minutes that I got 5 contacts on and later found a skip right into Japan and China that had me filling in areas left and right, but that was hard to hold so I went back to a few bands I like to hit mid pacific and go t into a ragchew with a guy I had not heard from in a few years, realizing I was using up valuable time on field day I tried to give up my strait key but no
one wanted to use it so we set up a set of paddles and soon had 3 or 4 other visitors drooling over the china skip that kept fading in and out. all this on a home made dipole using a 20 ohm balun to counteract ground impedance from having it strung seriously to low in young trees. I guess that is when a few experimental 6 meter antennas came out and we started working the west coast for fun. Saw one of the coolest rigs I have seen in years as a guy brought his grandfathers rig from the 40s and we fired it up for a few minutes. great day.
