It looks more like this weekend we will have below average heat, so we will have a great field day weather size. All we need is the sunspots to give us a good propagation forecast. Hope all who want t participate can. It can be an eye opener into how ham radio work and inspire folks to jump right in. That is always my desire come time for Field Day ! Lewis said that.

Curtis Barlow of Hickory, N.C. Does repairs on CDE HyGain and Alliance
rotors. He is more reasonable than most others.
He also builds and sells antenna change over relays that take the place of
the old Dow Key relays. He builds his in aluminum boxes and the relays are
plug in. He has a barrier strip with NO and NC contacts for muting receiver
and keying VFOs and amps. His relays are far cheaper than a Dow Key and many
used relays you see.
You can contact him at curtisbarlow_racing66@yahoo.com or call him at 828
310 1743. If you need a rotor repaired give Curtis a call. (I just got in 3
of the TR relays Curtis makes. They are well made and use a HD plug in relay
with a keyed octal socket. Very nice and I am really pleased. Mike KØAZ)

Field day is the weekend come one come all. We can let you talk on hf if you want regardless if you have a license. It will probably be hot so make sure you have plenty of water and the like. If you take meds for blood pressure, allergies, diabetes they can make you less able to tolerate the heat, don't over do it when we go to set up for field day. I will be the camp doc so if you look kinda overheated I will be sending you for a sit down under the shade with a cool I drink of water ! Let's all have fun but be safe.
