Post from Haydn -KK6OYV follows. He will be operating from the bay area this weekend on HF. Try and make contact with him if you can!
We’ve got QSL cards to mail out, too. We’ll be K6M at Maker Faire from
- 1:00PM to 7:00PM Pacific Time on Friday the 15th
- 10:00AM to 8:00PM Pacific Time on Saturday the 16th
- 10:00AM to 6:00PM Pacific Time on Sunday the 17th
We’ll be on or around 14.250. Unfortunately, we don’t have enough volunteers to provide all day coverage on the radio, and we get tons of visitors that we provide information to, so we’ll operate as often as possible but not the whole time.
We have all the volunteers we’re allowed to have, so too late to sign up. We operate on battery power with a Kenwood TS-480 and either our truck-mounted screwdriver or a Buddipole. Generally we reach to east to the Mississippi but not much further. RFI is a serious contender at Maker Faire, and we don’t have a way to get an antenna way up in the air.
Please give a listen or give us a call on 14.250 — K6M Special Event Station.
Post expires at 1:00am on Monday May 18th, 2015 but will still be available in the archives.
