The high gain 6M 7-element Yagi was perfect
for the E-Sporadic propagation that occurred during Field Day and racked up an
amazing 387 contacts. |

The 10M Phone station had a second 10M
antenna fixed pointing up the Pacific Coast. This is a "Double Extended-Zepp"
that I call a "10M Zepp Curtain". It was responsible for some of the 450 10M
QSOs this year....mostly by Sporadic-E propagation. The box on the ground to the right is
a classic Johnson Match-Box tuning the open feed line. |

The open air 20M PH tent had a great breeze
and plenty of shade for visitors to watch the pile-up wizards.

antennas can be partially seen on the left |

Caleb Medeiros, while standing in front of the self-standing 100-foot tower used on 40M CW
and 80M CW. The 80M antenna at the 100 ft level is an Inverted-Bazooka antenna (dipole).
The 40M 2-element inverted-Vee is at about the 80-ft level. |
