The Main Operations Tent and Antennas |
The main tent was the center of operations, with most antenna connection and operating stations. A Generator and Solar Cells provided the power.
Outside, a Bar-B-Que and treats were setup for Lunch and late night meals.
Off photo, to the left, are the 2m Talk-in Station, the GOTA Station, the Antique 40m CW Station and several other QRP Stations, each with their own antennas.
In the main tent, cross band interference was a bit of a problem, but many people were working to resolve the issue.

Bob - AD7BP with his Pedestrian 20m Mag Loop |
Bob showed me his 20m Mag Loop, I was really impressed, it was easy to tune by listening for max volume, and then the Ft-817 reported a very Low SWR on transmit. The Loop can be turned quickly to maximize the received signal.
Unfortunately, we did not have much time to use or play with the Loop.
