\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nick (K1MAZ) and I, along with Jim (NE1SJ\/KK1W) made the trek to Prospect Hill, MA (near Athol) for a SOTA (Summits on the Air<\/a>) activation.\u00a0 Great weather and great propagation made for a perfect day!!!<\/p>\n

We hung a mini-G5RV from the fire tower (up about 80′ sloping to a tree branch).\u00a0 We used KK1W’s FT100 to make contacts using 55w and mini-G on 20m, 15m, and 10m SSB.\u00a0 We used the FT817 and the mini-G to make PSK31 contacts (yeah, 5w) on 20m.<\/p>\n

We also used a home-made “tape-measure” 2m beam to work a few local contacts on 146.52.\u00a0 If you’ve taken 146.52 out of your scanning sequence, you might consider putting it back in, especially on weekends when local hams may be looking to make a contact with you.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more NE1C activations, coming soon!\u00a0 Thanks for all of you that we contacted today, and all we’ll contact in the future!<\/p>\n
