Ham Radio . Magnum Experimentum
Antennas, experiments, engineering and other articles of interest to radio folks.
Well Field Day 2010 all started to come together pretty well. I put all the drinks and heavy items in the front to ensure good positive tongue weight. Pre-positioned the radio on that beautiful desk. Loaded up several antennas. Three masts plus stakes, etc. I even managed to figure out how to get my hex beam in there with a minimum of dis-assembly. It is quite a mess. I am sooo glad I selected that slinky wire that does not kink.
Here is a picture.
There is nothing like going to the beach.
Seafood, sand in everything you own, beach strolls, a time with family away from the usual distractions of life.
What better to do at the beach than visit the local lighthouse… especially a big coastal light station like Assateague Lighthouse on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
Of course being a ham makes you notice things others miss with your “hammy eyes.”
Follow along in this picture tour of our visit to Assateague Lighthouse in 2007 and see the unusual thing we found within.
