[amsat-bb] How are you doing?

[Tony Stone]

Same place on Parsons. I went over a couple of hours this morning and the place was packed for the picnic lunch. 
Looks like the same folks are still hard at work.


Your shack is looking good. Congratulations. 


I am still working on the house and am close to getting up some weak signal antennas on 6,2, 220 and 432.
I finally got the old antennas down. 
The new ones are HO loops. 



I will also put up a new discone. I have it ordered alreadly. 


I am thinking about a LPDA and a 1296 loop yagi on a small rotor also.
These will work on the Florida Weak Signal group nets on 432 and 1296.


I talked to AA4MD this week and he is still waiting on his 1296 transverter.
The 600 watt amplifier has been delivered.

What's cooking Mike? 
Are you going to the Field Day site? 


We are hanging in here. Doing the weekly nets with the 
club on 2, 6, 10 and 80 meters. I have made my first contact 
on 160. It was with Ed down in Balm Florida. 
I think he does some AM on 80and160. 
With the help of my friend and ham radio buddy Andy, 
I finally have my beams down for 6, 2 and 70 cm. 
I am going back up with HO loops on 6, 2, 2 1/4 and 
70cm. 
I hope to have my shop back to some semblance of 
order in a couple of weeks and can get on the air on 
these bands. 
I don't know how the 706 works on AM but I would 
like to find out. 
Maybe we can set up a schedule to try it out. 


I hope this finds you and your family well and 
that you are making good progress on your house 
plans.
