Coffee anyone? This pot could easily make a debut at a Steampunk event....but this shot of the pot is at the OAUSA Field Day where Kona Coffee was brewed.

Coffee Taste-Off
A variety of coffees were on hand using pour over, American press and a unique Vacuum contraption from Bruce. The coffee Taste-off never officially happened. It sort of evolved over 3 days. Never a shortage of top quality stuff!

: As if great coffee in the AM weren’t enough, Jack and John provided 15-20 authentic Frappuccino’s mid-Saturday.; B7B4CF33-50F2-45E2-AF36-F9D112F9F54D.jpeg (2.67 MiB) Viewed 2781 times

Let’s take a break from the food.

Field Day Set Up

: Our Ham Shack was placed amongst a tall stand of Pines. Perfect for erecting many antennas.; FAD811B0-F38D-4F6B-928A-B32FB26923B6.jpeg (2.49 MiB) Viewed 2760 times

: Steven with his pneumatically propelled, manually activated, antenna hanging device. I think he works for a company called “Acme”! Note the Ham Shack in the background.; 8BC82668-DC04-41D6-9C19-123D263D91F4.jpeg (2.86 MiB) Viewed 2760 times

: Actually, his device worked like a champ with more than enough power to clear the highest branches and the accuracy to “Stick” the landing. Version 3.1 coming in early 2020.; 8FBBB584-8767-4154-A9B1-559A83D8FAC4.jpeg (1.95 MiB) Viewed 2760 times

: We erected two mast systems which supported multiple antennas.; D1739AA5-3CCD-4A6F-A796-A1E1F61CDC98.jpeg (2.22 MiB) Viewed 2760 times

: Unless I am mistaken, we used three different versions of the MyAntennas, EndFed half wave antenna as an inverted V, horizontal and a slight sloper to make many of our contacts. Steven’s 15/20 meter dipole made up most of the rest of the contacts with Dave’s Scorpion screwdriver handling the digital work.; 2519B6F9-5208-4C87-93E6-FECACA4090C5.jpeg (714.23 KiB) Viewed 2758 times

: Although I didn’t make a huge number of contacts due to the number of other activities at the event, I was able to make contacts on 80 meters for the first time. The noise floor on that band was tremendous.
A special thanks to Hector, Larry and Steven for their support in getting the newer Hams on the air, some for the first time.; 0471C15F-A4C7-4FE4-82B0-6FD3025DE639.jpeg (1019.84 KiB) Viewed 2754 times
