1) Santa Barbara Independent coverage of K6TZ Field Day:
http://www.independent.com/news/2015/jul/21/amateur-radio-club-competes-fie…
Please note, someone named John Kendall put what I believe is an erroneous
comment at the bottom of this article. It needs to be corrected. Can
someone with knowledge about the radios in the shack please submit a
response (politely, despite his demeanor)? Is there really a marine radio
in there? Perhaps someone could submit the exact radio and model number
and capabilities (not marine?) in a reply (assuming he's referencing the
one that the left-most operator is using??). Or, let me know, and I can
submit.
2) Below is a summary of the Field Day entry form that I submitted this
morning. It is due by 2059UTC today. If anyone sees any
errors/corrections, please let me know [by calling me at 685-2030 as I'll
be away from email]. I submitted 176 points for the below listed contacts,
which includes bonus points for media coverage (thanks, Brian), and bonus
points for submitting results via the ARRL web site. The form requests the
number of participants but I'm not sure how many operators we had (Theo,
who ran the event - thanx!, Leigh, me, and a new member/visitor who brought
his son [sorry - forgot name]) - any I missed? I'm not sure who is
pictured in the article at left - perhaps another operator I missed?
Sincerely,
