FIELD DAY ......... among the vegetables.
SHORT STORY OF A COUPLE OF DAYS IN THE OPEN AIR.
Since the spring, was presented with all its splendor in the countryside
around Parma
we set out to control operation mode, the material normally used for
field day.
Unfortunately, the unpredictability 'of the season we had had to
postpone more' Sometimes this appointment,
so we decided on April 30 and May 1 to take advantage of space normally
devoted to the care
vegetables to equip our base camp.
The main objective of these days of testing was to verify the
functionality 'of the new agreement
CG3000 coupled to the classic WIP ANTENNA 7 meters or a "fishing pole" 9
out of m
Support reclining at 45 degrees to facilitate communications within the
NVIS.
Of course to stay in the spirit field day, arrange to feed all the
apparercchiature used with battery backup to a small generator of 600
watts.
As a shelter in case of rain, a small storage room was equipped as a
"post office" with the computer
Portable, SCS Pactor modem PTC2-EX and the trusty FT 857.
The links were held on a regular basis' with the main European MBO
using, when
possible, the bandwidth of 10 MHz in the daytime, while the evening was
not easy connections
resulting in slower transmission speeds due to the low efficiency of our
vertical antenna on 80 meters and the indiscriminate use of linear
amplifiers for voice connections
even in areas of band whose use should be preferred for digital modes.
A nice surprise on Saturday and Sunday were the many connections made
with IW1GHU Group R.N.R.E. present with other Om Fair of Pordenone to
present the means
and group activities.
The teachings of these two days and the measures to be taken to improve
the efficiency of
station about the configuration of the vertical antennas for the low
bands that will be improved and
the supply of "services" as our RX TX has been particularly "allergic"
to
neon lamps powered by low voltage, the charger and a
microprocessor-controlled
small inverter, theoretically "filters" that interfered in the use of
mainly 40 and 80 meters.
To be Improve! From the garden of 73 Miciontigre ......... very
friendly! Gabriella i4oyu
