Shown here are photos from my visits on June 26-27 to ARRL Field Day sites across Eastern Massachusetts. I toured eleven different sites. I also stopped by two locations that I thought were active, but turned out not to be. I traveled from Yarmouthport to North Andover, logging a total of 322 miles driven over the 27-hour event.
Shown here: Roland, N1JOY at the Bristol Co. RA/Fall River ARC field day operation with his antenna launcher-thingie

Shown here: photos from the 2010 Handiham Summer Radio Camp 2010 in Maple Lake, MN. I was a volunteer instructor in the Op Skills course. I like to think of these folks as my "other" ham radio family.

Watching CNN to see if Hawaii gets wiped out. I'm kinda hoping it's a non-event, since I want to visit KH6-land some day.

I've posted photos from the CQWW CW effort at K0TV's QTH in Hudson, New Hampshire Nov. 27-29, 2009. I also took the opportunity to renew my membership in the Yankee Clipper Contest Club. It's been almost 15 years since I last participated in a serious multi-op contest.

ARRL Sweepstakes Photos On-line
Submitted by k9hi on Wed, 12/02/2009 - 11:36
I've posted photos from our 2009 ARRL Sweepstakes CW effort at my friend's station, W1MJ in Belmont. Eliot says it's the first time anyone has operated "multi-op" from his modest station. I certainly had a swell time, and it prepared me well for operating in the CQWW CW contest at K0TV this past weekend.
