The SARC Salem Capitol 2008 Field Day is ON
one of three towers, nice tri-bander beam for mostly CW operators
Taz, KD7TAZ, logs for a very fresh new ham, Daniel who passed his Tech license just hours before
KV7E, Dan and WA0DIM, Dick make for a great CW team
THESE TOWERS WERE MAJOR ENGINEERING FEATS ! THIS ONE IS A TELESCOPING 65' TOWER ON A TRAILER WITH NO ANCHORS-THE SAFETY LINES WERE ALL TIED TO THREE HEAVY VEHICLES
Sone of the crew discus the next task
This was a HOT DAY ! This was one of the few shady spots.
KE7ASM, Doug ran a Winlink booth for MCARES, next to the County van
Paul works at the digital station
Scott, KE7BJS and Bobby, W7PCD
We just had to ahve a flag pole, so Mark brought one.
What a nice day to run the radios
Tom sets up his "air conditioned" luxury station.
Eric found a nice cool place to set up.
Tom, WO7Z, set up an ATV demo
One of our base anchors was custom made to hold the tower in place.
It's no wonder our antennas worked so well, they operated mostly above the surrounding structures.
We only needed one gen set, but what a supply! We hardly noticed it was there until we wanted another cord.
Roger, THE CW KING. No one on sight out sends Roger.
We were working the low end of 10 Meters at this time.
Roger must have been working one of those foreign stations that did not understand the exchange by the look on his face.
The MCARES van.
Steve, KE7DLE, was working 6 Meters.
No one pulled a tower into position. The Honda was the workhourse.
Another portable antenna.
Ron got this one up.
Dan planning the next antenna raising.
Scott really got into this. Moses runs the logging here.
