Last week, we had an HF Radio test of the newly refurbished HF Radio in the Emergency Communications Trailer. We used the whip antenna that is attached to the trailer. We were not able to get the whip straight up and down and it was inside the fabric tent. We were able to hear stations as far away as Texas on 20 meters, but we were not able to make contact with anyone.
We are planning another Test of the HF rig on Wednesday the 22nd of April at 11:30 AM. If you want to help out please join us at the trailer. (West of A6.) We will test it with the buddipole and Crack IR antennas to see if they help out.
