Robin lost two Debit cards yesterday. She thinks they may have been at the FD site. No charges have been done to them and they are both blocked from use. If anyone finds them please PM me. Thanks!
LARC put a Pixie on the road today. While visiting LARC member, John Freitag at the HHART Field Day Location, I was asked? Can I really hook up a Pixie? How? wecanhams.com will show how, but, lets find out, now. And so we did. We didn't make any contacts, but we had fun with Pixie.
LARC put a BitX40 on the road to Rogersville, where, while visiting the Field Day Site for HHART, someone said, 'I have been thinking about getting a BitX40! to which I replied: wanna play with one?' and as they say....the rest, and the QSO with someone in GA, is HISTORY. In the first pic he is making the contact, and in the second picture, he is saying how do I find that website www.wecanhams.com and I am not delaying in getting two BitX's, one for me and one for my son.
Joseph Cummings shared Paul Michelson's post to the group: Lakeway Amateur Radio Club (LARC) W2IQ.
Today was my first ever ARRL Field Day. A wonderful experience I recommend any ham to take part in. I worked about 18 contacts on 80 and 40 meters solo then 60 more or so teamed with Jim Sipprell on 40 and 15 meters. You can really fly thru the contacts if teamed up with someone. I also learned I like the Icom 706MK a lot and plan to add one to my station as soon as I can. Great little radio. Working with the wonderful members of the LARC, I realized how important the companionship of others who share your joy of amateur radios is to this hobby and your immersion into it is. I have pledged to myself to become more active in the club and on the airways. Thank you everyone for a great day!
