We, the West Valley Amateur Radio Association, will again set up
on Mora Hill in the San Antonio Openspace Preserve above Los
Altos, CA. We will be operating using K6EI for the main call and
W6ZZZ for our GOTO station. We are planning on operating QRP in
the 14AB category.
We are seriously considering adding 160M antennas to our mix
although our 160M experience has not be too good in the past.
Are others planning on being active on 160?
We discovered many years ago that using Elecraft equipment
allowed us to operate digital, CW, and voice on a single band.
With triplexers for sharing antennas between bands, we can limit
the amount of aluminium we need to raise, and still get lots of
HF statins on the air. We will also have a significant VHF/UHF operation.
Our stated goal is to have a maximum of fun with a minimum of work.
As one of the digital station captains, I'm wondering how much
FT8 we should expect to see. wsjt-x isn't yet set up well for
field day, but with its free-form 13 character messages we can
probably make it work.
