had a great time.
====================================
repeater news -.-
the 10 meter link antenna, designed by kØip,
A truly ingenious design (?) to
let the whips flop around in the wind and hopefully survive ice
buildup, which has destroyed several other antennas...
(Built to
last forever, we will see ????)
Built with assistance from WB7DNU, other hams
providing whip antennas and springs, it was
installed by kØip and KR7W on Sept 10.
here's some pictures,
The antenna's hard to
see, click the picture for a better view.
UPDATE,,, 10 meters has been open, and the
10meter link has been buzzing with East coast stations.

Blast from the Past
link to blast history
One of our club members used one of these,,, he says
5 watts out and not too good of
receiver, Circa 1962 +/- ,,, BUT
, it was way better than the HeathKit 6er..
he used a Carbon Microhone,, NO PTT.. How did we
survive ???
This was a Classic high range radio,,, and you know it looked
pretty too.
