Firecracker Hamfest
Matt and I wandered around and talked to some people. I only bought a few small things:
- tiny efhw kit.
- nice 65W PD 20Ah power brick.
- broken kenwood HT, won’t power on, but charges. (took a chance, but no plan.)
US-4356, Boyd Big Tree Preserve
- EFHW from pavilion, across side trail entrance, into a tree.
- Rough time with SSB to start. I couldn’t be heard. I’d stalk these multi-operator activators for 10 minutes, prepare my logs, and then not be able to contact them.
- Operated all FT8 on 40m.
- One SSB P2P at the end.
- It was very hot.
While operating, I got an email from a contact, so I sent a photo and explained my setup with WSJT-X and the x6100.
