Hugh Underwood – W5HAU

6. In 2016 we got creative and put
up a temporary tower and used
the services of the NRHFD as a
field exercise.

10. June 23, 2017 means it is time to set up at the Fire Department and get ready for Field Day. And of course that means we will have our first 100 degree day.

11. This year we have a new toy courtesy
of Roger Courtney Sr. - N5RCS. Using a
salvaged mobile telescoping pneumatic
mast, the mast was mounted to a
custom made mobile trailer. The results
where nothing more than fantastic.

12. So Rodger, I thought this was an antenna mast not a ICBM !

13. Antenna is built and ready to mount on top of the mast.

15. Can you find the government worker in this photo?

38. Now we have a 70” portable tower to use.

39. Saturday morning we attached the coax
and dipole.

42. Saturday 20 meter was working well until that night
