Field Day

Was a lot of fun this year. We used the CSV17 to put up a number of antennas. One was a quadruple extended double ended Zepp, nearly 400 feet long. It was about 90 feet up. Just below one end of that antenna was a Spiderbeam support line, and the beam was riding calmly in the breeze at about 50 feet. That breeze got pretty nasty one night, testing the tents — some of which were not up to it.

Between the two antennas, and a couple of others we racked up about a thousand contacts, which is not bad for the band conditions and number of hours we operated.

At any rate we are back and ramping up production again on launchers. A fistfull of orders popped in after FD and we’re making parts to catch back up.

Thanks for your support!!

Field Day Orders

In order to allow adequate time for processing and shipping, Field Day orders for Pre-assembled Launchers are due THIS MONTH – March. Kit orders are due before the end of April. This is to give us time to get your orders out, plus transit time, plus time for you to build them and test them before Field Day.

California Sales Tax is increasing on 1 April.
