we arrived at 8AM to the GB Yachting Club.
A 40 thru 6mtr OCF dipole was placed between the two Range Lights. In case someone else would show up with a
radio and wanted to join in, a 80 thru 6mtr OCF dipole was raised from
atop the South Light and sloped toward the East. There did not seem to be anyone on 40 or 20
meters.. switched over to the longer antenna, but was rejected on all bands by
the radio. Took that antenna down and put up a different 80- 6mtr OCF dipole..
but had the same problem … went back to the 40+ antenna and began to make
contacts.<br /> <o:p></o:p></span><span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> While putting things away when we closed down,
Wes found that the connector between the two coax cables was only connected on
one side..<br /> </span><span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Of
course, that was on me. But we made contacts and met a bunch of visitors as
they came to view the Lights. Once again, Wayne Dunbar and the rest of the
Light Keepers were very hospitable and big THANK You to them.<br /> </span><span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> The OCF dipoles were checked again the next
day because we planned on using them at the Kewaunee Pierhead Lighthouse on the 7<sup>th</sup></span><span style="background: white; font-family: Arial, "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">.<br /> <o:p></o:p></span><span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> Which we did…… Monday the 7<sup>th</sup>
was a beautiful day.. Mike, W9MWP and I headed out to Kewaunee and upon
arriving , met up with Heather, one of the Lighthouse Keepers. She went out and
opened the Lighthouse while </span><span style="background: white; color: #500050; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">we

1,280 feet of pier, Jim, one of the other volunteers and the lead person that
was contacted by Walt, KE9WTT to arrange to operate from this Lighthouse, came
up by bicycle.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">The bike was the way to
go if you were making a number of trips to the site. He lent a hand and carried
up some of our load.</span></o:p></span></div>

set up. The plan was to throw down a rope from the light, then tie on one end
of the antenna, stretch it out and tie it to one on the ship tie on’s that are
in the middle of the pier… so we had a
sloping to the West. Our desk was right at the front door… a super
view.. After a few contacts on 14.263,
one check in told us that a net would be starting on .262, so we QSY’d and did
not take long for Mike to start drawing them in. You can see the video at the Friends of the

“Shack” at St. Norbert and checked the DX3000 and the peripheral equipment to
see how the settings are for possible use as a Special Event station. The Antenna Switch worked well as well as the
SWR/Power meter. Had a learning curve for setting the power levels. There was a
menu adjustment to keep the CW setting from coming on with the SSB mode… this
had kept the power output setting from showing up on the front of the radio.
Had to set the mic gain down a little… the microphone is quite sensitive.. The auto turner worked well on 20 and 40
meters.. (did not try any others – there is not a 75 meter coil on the antenna)

It was sunny, warm with a slight breeze.. The camaraderie began right away with breakfast. First the long table was filled, then the round table along side, then followed by filling two of the nearby booths.. The mood and sprit was super charged. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Leaving there, the normal route was blocked with a bridge repair but detours were easy to follow.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> Everyone pitched in to assemble the site.. antennas were lifted up or rigged and connected with coax. There was one somewhat remote site with an RV and they were up in short time. A small camper was set up with solar & batteries using some vertical antenni. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> It was decided to operate with a possible five stations plus a GOTA station. The CW station was set up inside the shelter.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> Everything was set and appeared ready at the 1PM start time. A couple of glitches at the EComm Trailer with high SWR because of a failed coax then the wire connection disconnected on the antenna.. Looking back, it gave a good lesson in trouble shooting but lost some transmitting time. (the antenna was checked before FD, but the problem must have exasperated when being set up.)</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> About 34 signed in including some curious from the neighborhood.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> We are still adding up the points but need some pictures to validate the bonus points. (a separate email) </span></div><div> <span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Total QSO Points – 906 with pwr factor.</span></div></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><div> The little rain shower did not bother any of the activity. The Potluck dinner was very good with a lot folks coming to partake and enjoy the evening together. The next morning the radios were still making contacts with a shift in the propagation. </div><div><br /></div><div>The group closed down and began the put things away plus get the area cleaned up. Some of the members went to D2, right down the road for lunch before heading home.</div><div> The park amenities were top notch. I think everyone would like to come there again in the future. </div><div> Thanks to a lot of folks.. those that came out to help set up, those that operated, those that logged, those that brought food for the dinner, those that helped close up, those that came to participate in any way.. A good Field Day overall. Will send out a final result when it comes together.. </div><div> </div></span></div><div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>GreenBay Mike & Key Club Meetings:</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">July 13th –The Tower Room, 4th floor of the G-M Science Bldg.

It is also a learning event. As we walked and talked to the vendors like Icom, Yeasu, Kenwood,etc we learned more of what they had. But was also interesting were the ones that had the accessories, like the ammo box radio setups, the batteries, the various antennas, software, there seemed to be more miniature digital meters for those that are updating their “shacks”. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> I had the great experience of working in the Tower Electronics booth. Met fellow Hams from all over.. Greece, Italy, U.K., Brazil, etc, and from Washington state to New Jersey, Florida, Texas. Most said they always come to this particular booth, because they had some of the best adaptors for their set ups. Finding the antenna adaptors for the HTs seemed to be my most sales.

The Comet analyzer showed bad on all bands.. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">t</span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">hen all the other antennas did also… The antennas were brought to a
different location (KA9BXG) and they checked good.</span></p></div><div style="text-align: left;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> Remembered the same
thing happened when checking the antenna
at St. Norbert. The Comet folks said the analyzer was getting unwanted rf from
the cell tower equipment on the roof. Nothing wrong with the antenna..<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> At the house, since the
antennas were built, new security cameras were installed .. wireless.. stray
rf.. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

wonder if there are any Ham radio operators that may have moved in near
you? There is a map you can bring up
with that information… Usually you can see an antenna tower poke out of the
trees or on top of a roof.. But there may be a Tech with a HT right now while
working on their General level. Or you
may be looking for an Elmer that lives near by..<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: 10.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://haminfo.tetranz.com/map">https://haminfo.tetranz.com/map</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><div style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 10.5pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">I just put my <i>grid square</i>
(EN64al) in the box and got a pile of information … I even saw that some have
moved and must not have sent in a change of address to the FCC yet.. Don’t know
your grid square? It should be on your license or go to QRZ Grid Mapper.. Good
to know that grid for logging purposes or other things like Winlink and APRS.</span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: 10.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Shack<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

committee will be tieing in a grounding system on the 8<sup>th</sup> in the
afternoon.. this will ground all our equipment in the room. This project will also
put in antenna switches with arrestors and dummy loads. Phase two will have the
antennas, coax grounded and have arrestors installed .. (unknown date at this
time, but soon) <o:p></o:p></span></p>

think about sending printed message forms from one radio to another without a
repeater? What if the repeaters are down and you want to contact another ham
buddy and leave a message? Person to person messaging just like the old packet
without the “mailbox” … perhaps a TechTalk in a month from now… <o:p></o:p></span></p>
