UVARC Field Day, June 26 and 27, 2010

2010-07-03T16:38:00.000-07:00

Field Day was held at the Glide High School athletic field in Glide, Oregon.

It was a GREAT Field Day at the Glide High School Athletic Field this year. George Roth, KE7MVX ran the GOTA station this year and stayed mostly on 40 meters. In his spare moments he managed to play a bit with Airmail and send a few messages with that mode. Jim Rucker, WA6KHG, made several contacts on 6 meters, several on 10 meters, a few on 15 meters, and a bunch on 80 meters. Martin Struss, KD7QZA operated on 20 meters and made quite a few contacts. The bands were in great shape and quite a few other people made contacts on the stations we had set up. Most importantly we had a great time visiting with everyone who showed up and had a great pot luck Saturday evening.

He is a volunteer for the American Red Cross. George set up voice, digital, and HF communications at the Red Cross, is an ARES member, and in the last statewide SET, handled all of the portable Packet communications. George has made the Red Cross Building, projector, and dsl line available for amateur radio classes. He exhibits an excellent example to the public of amateur radio, and is always anxious to be part of any activity.

Field Day 2009

2009-07-13T07:45:00.000-07:00

Field Day at the Glide High School turned out to be an overwhelming success. Jerry KB7WDR did a great job with the publicity. KPIC came out to the site as well as Sheriff John Hanlin who stayed for quite some time. We had a great Potluck on Saturday evening with well over 45 people attending. Jerry KB7WDR ran the GOTA station again on 40 meters and had about 4 people who seemed to want to become amateurs ask him how to get their license. Martin KD7QZA operated the 20 Meter station. Mike WB6RHW operated Winlink 2000 (2 Meter Packet) and send out a few emails from the Field Day site. Wayne W9AE made quite a few contacts on 6 Meters SSB and CW. George KE7MVX operated the 2 Meter FM station and even made a few contacts on Echolink. Myself WA6KHG with lots of help from Doris KC6CWP, Chris KE7GMU and George KE7MVX operated on 80 & 15 Meters and made quite a few contacts on both bands. As for the 10 meter band, I never checked, but seeing as how both 15 Meters and 6 Meters were open I’m fairly sure it would have worked had we had someone with a station on that band.

Thanks to all who helped, participated, or just stopped by the Field Day this year. For those who couldn’t make it, you missed a great time.
