N6ZFO visits KA3DRR/6 -- by Train no Less

With strains of Arlo Guthrie's "City of St. Louis" echoing in his mind, N6ZFO boarded the sleek Amtrak Surfliner and headed north Saturday afternoon for a 5 hour journey from San Juan Capistrano to Pismo Beach, site of the soon-to-be CC&R superstation of Scot, KA3DRR. After a superb dinner of hearty, tasty ribs and good ham radio fellowship at the local hot spot, Alex's, Scot and Bill began to plot the Sunday antenna building strategy.

The end result: a twin-lead fed inverted L antenna which can disappear in a moments notice -- 4o-feet per leg and 33 feet at the apex. Well, it's a stretch to call this an inverted "L" but we'll do so anyway. The good news . . it loads smoothly on all bands 15-80. WWV on 15 mHz gained 4 S units over the random wire, which was quickly and unceremoniously relegated to recycling. Scot, I hope that was the right decision.

Stay tuned till Thursday for the August 9 NS. Will Scot break his record "off the random wire" score of 16 points in the Impromptu July 5 NS Ladder?? We shall see.

Here's a photo of the motley crew assembled at Scot's very first-rate digs . . .Scot's YL, perhaps wisely, cleared out for the weekend, although her presence would certainly have raised the general quality of the photo. Well, radio-dawg looks good, and radio-bird, off camera to the left, even better.

For now, 73 Bill n6zfo

I'm the sort of hombre who passions to taste unused stuff. Currently I am making my own solar panels. I'm managing it all alone without the aid of my staff. I'm utilizing the net as the only way to acheive this. I saw a really brilliant site which explains how to build pv panels and wind generators. The site explains all the steps involved in photovoltaic panel construction.

I am not sure about how precise the information given there iz. If some people over here who have experience with these works can have a see and give your feedback in the thread it would be great and I'd highly treasure it, cauze I really take an interest in [URL=http://apennootje.blogwogin.com/2009/11/10/solar-panel-construction-at-home]solar panel construction[/URL].

Thanks for reading this. You guys are the best.
