    Tangles

    Even after Friday night weed whacking, there was still work to do.

    We are setting up!
    Half of setting up is untangling the antennas (G5RV shown)
    Sorting out the ground wires
    And setting up on the “grassy knoll”

    The effort was worth it!!

  • Field Day 2025 Wrap Up 1
    Safety officer Bob made wonderful signs for the entrance!

    The weather was better than last year… that is, we did not have an actual thunderstorm. The turnout was great with 30 participants, and the score was great!

    Setting up
    Raising up several antennas with one rope…. on the tallest tree around.
    Our “Rigel-6” antenna did great on 6 Meters! Simple and not very directional

    Bill Kelly, from the American Red Cross came to visit!
    SNJ Section Manager Ron Fish KX1W visits the GOTA station (which did wonderful things this year)
