STATION AND TOWER
The SSB station and the CW
stationused Dick's call AC6DK, and
the GOTAstation used the club call
W6WGZ. This trailer was given to Frank W6BBS by Dick AC6DK so it could be
completed and used as a portable ham shack and also used for field day
by
our club.
DICK
KULLBERG AC6DK
Field Day 2002 was dedicated
to dick for his
contributions to the club
and promoting amateur
radio to a new generation.
It has been Dick's
dream for the MCARC to become a
highly proactive
club. We are all proud to
have helped make Dick's
dreamcome true.
Thanks Dick for your vision.
The CW station was equipped with a
30foot 3 section mini tower
with Ham M rotator.
The tower has a hinged base that wasbolted to the trailer floor.
The CWstation antennas were a TH3 juniortribander and a 80
meter loop that was
also
used for 40 meters.
Here are the
two main CW operators in the CW station hard at work. On the left is Guss
KF6ZXO our club Vise President, and on the right is our new
member Kent
K6IN. The third CW operator was me, your President, Mark AD6VN. I found
coping code at 28 wpm a little intimidating at first but after several
hours logging I was able to copy much better and took a turn in the
operators seat.
