Field Day 2004
Mt. Magazine ARC has
been an active participant in the ARRL Field Day activities since the
club was first organized.
Field Day exercises were held on top of Mt. Magazine at Brown Springs.
The club had a good turnout and the overall event was a success.
The main focus of Field Day is to demonstrate emergency preparedness
and the ability to setup and operate communications stations in less
that ideal conditions. This year the club did just that, with many
changes made in the station configuration "on the fly". A PSK31 station
was setup to try the effectiveness of the digital modes in and
emergency environment. The results were good, and some new folks were
introduced to digital modes. A CW (Morse Code) station was setup again
this year, with much success, thanks to the efforts of Randy K5BOC, who
contributed 180 contacts to the overall effort. Thanks Randy.
These pictures were also submitted by Randy K5BOC.
