OAUSA Net - June 1, 2017 - Field Day 2017

Post by DaveK » Tue May 30, 2017 3:43 pm

It's time again for the largest annual on-the-air event in the country, the ARRL Field Day. Here is what the ARRL says:
Field Day is ham radio's open house. Every June, more than 40,000 hams throughout North America set up temporary transmitting stations in public places to demonstrate ham radio's science, skill and service to our communities and our nation. It combines public service, emergency preparedness, community outreach, and technical skills all in a single event. Field Day has been an annual event since 1933, and remains the most popular event in ham radio.
Outdoor Adventure USA has been doing a Field Day event for the last 8 years, but with a little different twist. True to our outdoor travels, we use the opportunity of summer to enjoy a three day weekend, to participate in the Field Day competition, to enjoy the cool comfort of the high mountains (7,500 feet), to camp among the pines, to enjoy great food and drink and to appreciate the camaraderie of good friends. We also offer all levels of Amateur Radio licensing. More information here: viewtopic.php?f=207&t=4041

We want to use the opportunity of this net to encourage as many people as possible to join a Field Day event, whether it is ours or another. If you are planning on attending a Field day, other than ours, please feel free to post the details of your event here on the website.

Here is what we looked like last year:

New Product

SAM (Safe AttachMent ) Tool for the Hi-lift
Manufactured by JeepsNeeds
Price $69

This is a recent 3rd party accessory product for the Hi-lift jack. It does not yet have the test of time to determine if it is worth the extra space and weight to other alternatives. I was interested in testing it since so many new vehicles do not have an adequate and safe way to lift on the bumper with a Hi-lift but they do have recovery eyes. (It does not work on all shapes of recovery eyes.)
A safety feature of the SAM is that once the two pins are used to rig it to the recovery eye and the Hi-lift, the Hi-lift cannot slip off.

No flat surface on this curved bumper

While we encourage all who can join us at our Field Day to do so, we understand that it may require more travel time than you have available. So, for those who still want to participate in a Field Day, there will be hundreds of locations across the US and Canada which you can attend. Check this link for the area closest to your location: http://www.arrl.org/field-day-locator.
