We’re using home built antennas for all the HF bands. We’re using Belden 9913 feed line for the 2 20m dipoles and 40 meter beam, and using 450 ohm ladder line for the 80/15/10 meter dipole. The antennas are made from 13 AWG copper Poly-STEALTH™ high strength aerial wire.
We are implementing a more complete ICS format for this years field day. The ICS uses a standard hierarchy that can grow, shrink, and adapt to various size events and positions.
We are looking to hold a VE session during field day, currently planned for sometime Saturday.
