0907 - Mid July -
I spent an afternoon in the field. One end to the
other. I was in there with my Yaesu 857D, a Hi-Q 5/80
vertical antenna, some sandwiches and a soda or two.
Great afternoon. No Noise Floor at all, anywhere in
the field. I've got some pictures, below, about the
field. It is very private, quiet, and beautiful.
While I was working the radio, there were hawks and eagles
working the field.
So - I'm in a
position where I need to go back to the farmer's and
finalize the deal. I must admit, I'm a little nervous
about the environment, and the financial commitment, but I
am convinced it is the right thing to do.
This is from two
locations in the field. One is as far East as you can
go - and stay in the field. The other is about 50%
through the field. There was a nice 6 meter opening
while I was working the radio, and picked up a few contacts.
I am convinced
that this field has some good potential.
