Members of the RRARS provided communications support
at the Machell-10, Berryman-11, and packet operations
(thanks to Ron, NA0Q). Here are pictures of the operation
at Machell-10.
.
On the first shift were Jeff (KD0JLM) & Ina Ruth (KD0VUA),
on second shift were Gary (KF0TW) & Joe (K0OG),
and on third shift were Russell (KD0OWE) and Joel (KD0POR).
.
The weather was good: partly to mostly sunny through the
day, clear to partly cloudy through the night, low temperature
around 50 degrees F, with occasional breezes.
.
We found voice and packet operations to be reliable using
5W power outputs on both radios using a homebrew twin-lead
J-pole (in PVC pipe) for voice operations to the Viburnum
repeater, and a mag-mount antenna on top of a truck cab
for digipeater access on 2m through the Johnson Mountain
site.
