Winter Field Day 2024

image_pdfimage_print

A favorable forecast gave us the green light to set up a station in Avery, Ca. Below are Mark N6IV, Walt K6WGY and Mike KB6USJ the outing photographer(not pictured). Propagation especially on 15 M kept us busy logging stations from the mid west to eastern parts of the country. When the operation was completed the group of three came away high spirited. Not bad working 100 watts and a dipole.
