Working on Field Day




Put together to test out the StepIR and D40 today. Here are some pics. Everything checks out and is good to go. Both of these antennas will be atop a 68' firefighting training tower sitting on the top platform just as you see them set up here.

Out club call sign is W4DCG with GOTA call sign TBD. We've invited the Rocky Mount Amateur Radio Club (our sister club here) to join us in a joint effort, and if that pans out, the GOTA call will be WR4MT.

The one pic of the StepIR is a bit over exposed, but shows the antenna nicely against an otherwise dark background. This antenna is difficult to see which, in some cases, might be a benefit.
Not shown are the low band antennas which will be a Radio Works Superloop80 and Carolina Windom 80.
Had great weather today. A good day to get outside and play Ham Radio.
