Hello everybody,
With a little exploring in my temporary storage container, I was able to
find a spool of suitable antenna wire, so the two HF antennas that I
promised to bring to field day are ready to go. If we need any additional
antennas or related equipment, please let me know because I am starting to
pack stuff up. I assume someone will bring a soldering iron and solder.
If not, I can bring them. Just let me know.
I got a call from an old friend of mine yesterday. He is a retired
engineer, and he expressed an interest in learning more about ham radio. I
wonder if someone has a spare radio (receive only at this point) that
includes the HF ham bands and the adjacent HF broadcast bands. I would
like to buy or borrow something suitable for him to begin listening with.
He is getting hard of hearing so I will provide him with some noise
cancelling headphones. At the moment, I don't have a receiver to lend him
that works well enough so that he won't become frustrated. Please call or
write me if you can help us out.
Look forward to seeing you all this weekend.
Alan
