Greetings!

In just a little over 15 days we'll start setting up our site for Field Day 2010!! It seems like the time between Field Days drags on forever. Let us know you're going to be there -- fieldday@w3vpr.org

On Thursday, 17 June we will present an overview of this year's Field Day plan during the club meeting. See you there!

Greetings!

Yesterday (Sat, June 5th) we conducted a training session for antenna mast preparation and mast raising. Approximately six students showed up and following a slideshow presentation, we successfully raised two masts and one antenna. We connected the antenna to a PSK31 transceiver and experienced no interference on any band. After the test was concluded we lowered the masts and put everything away. Thanks to Chuck/K3ACT for bringing his PSK equipment and antenna.
