[SCCC] N6MI Field Day report

[bovitz at bovitz.com]

On Field Day (June 2022), Scott (N6MI) and Larry (NB6E) operated N6MI Class
1B from DM04ms in the Santa Barbara section on Frazier Peak (8,013 feet). 

 

We used a very nice JK Antenna CS3-JK (triband yagi on a 12 foot boom), up
about 60 feet on the N6MI pneumatic mast. The peak is covered with
commercial antennas, but very little interference was heard on the low
bands.

 

The weather was perfect -- high 70s in the day and about 55 at night, with
winds under 10 miles per hour. 

 

Shane and Broden Weeks came to visit and brought ice cream. Broden is a high
school student. Broden enjoyed making a few supervised FT-8 contacts on 20
meters. We made 1,096 contacts (910 on CW, 16 on FT-8, and 170 on phone). 20
meters was our best band (480 CW, 3 FT-8, and 30 USB contacts).

 

In 2023, Larry and I look forward to working with our old crew (including
Tom, K6VCR, and Drew, N7DA).
