Ham Radio Field Day Adventure:

Bob (KC6NTX )--
Darn, the Hosmer "Islands" were off limits. Note the height of the antenna above ground - a listening post only. When I attached the far side of the antenna - lo-n-behold - the Eagle's Lair II cache. Note Joy's (KE7DDE) rapt attention to the radio. In all fairness, she did attempt to tune in some SSB while I tested the tensile strength of the hammock rigging. I explained the phenomenon that the ham knows you are trying to tune him in and stops talking as soon as you figure which direction you have to turn the knob, but before the speech is actually intelligible. I didn't notice if any of the near by ducks took interest in our SSB "duck call".

Head waters of Hosmer looks pretty nice. The area required 'sketer repellent though.
---Paul (K7NHB)
