I got in too late to register, but I had registered for the
topband dinner. The program at the dinner was, Les Kalmus, W2LK:
"ZL9HR - The Auckland and Campbell Island 160m Challenge." Nice
moviesand photos of a sail boat in gale force winds, territorial
sea lions, and several species of albatross. As may be all too
familiar, weather and seas delayed the arrival, setup and
operations. Weather also ate a number of their antennas, which
looked more like pretzels than efficient radiators. And the
island was cold and wet with highs between 6C and 12C. It sounds
like they had a fun trip.
The rest of the evening included a presentation from Hi-Z
Antennas (by K7TJR) on their topband receive antennas, and the
drawing of door prizes. It was a fun evening where many old
friends met again face-to-face.
Cheers - Bill, AE6JV
