Beach Boys ARC celebrates their fourth annual Field Day effort from SL's antenna ranch. We are planning a two transceiver effort using emergency generators. Our antenna systems are one tower mounted tri-bander at 35 feet and a mast supported, off center fed dipole, at 35 feet. Our software interface is N1MM Contest Logger with local area network to monitor activity between each station.
Deploying stubs at each transceiver to mitigate inter-station modulation and protect receiver front ends. Additionally, installing a band pass filter on 40m to reduce broad band transmit interference at third order harmonic, at 21 megahertz. Respective transceivers are equipped with 500 hertz filters for CW operation.
Anticipating post second peak conditions with bulk of contacts made on 20 and 40m wavelengths.
Participants providing snacks to include one other person with donuts and coffee on tap throughout the exercise. Dinner is hamburgers and hot dogs. Breakfast is scrambled eggs and hash browns.
Look for the Beach Boys ARC under the callsign W6SL as we propagate shortwave signals from our land island near the beach.
