Doug suggested we post up what we all will be bringing.
This is the list of radio gear I will be bringing on the trip. All are welcome to tryout the gear.
Miscellaneous Gear
Antenna Launcher: Same type that is used at Field Day. There are lots of tall trees to string wire dipoles or inverted V’s into.
Antenna Analyzer: Rigexpert AA-600
Coax & fittings: Don’t forget it (been there, done that)
Antennas:
80M Carolina Windom, its an off-center fed dipole that tunes up nicely on all bands from 80M to 10M.
Budipole on a 25’ mast. Configures and tunes up on most all bands. Anticipate setting it up for 6M
Screwdriver, vertical antenna that tunes from 80M to 10M. Anyone is welcome to use it.
Elk 2M log periodic: For SOTA work.
Radios:
Elecraft KX3: HF to VHF QRP rig. Have had excellent results in camp using this combined with the Windom
Icom 7000: HV – UHF 100w rig. Probably will set this up for PSK31
Mobile rig and HT
Note that if anyone would like to use or tryout the Club’s loaners, let me know.
Rigs for loan include:
Yaesu 2900: 2M 75W mobile station
Yaesu FT60: VHF-UHF HT
Yaesu FT1DR: VHF-UFH HT with APRS and Fusion Digital (very nice rig)
TYT TH-F5: VHF HT
