FIRE PREVENTION WEEK ON THE AIR

 

Hello All,

You are receiving this email as a result of interest in operating as N7F during fire prevention week.  I am Stacy-KK7CJV and Lee-K7NM has asked me to help organize the 7 call district operators for Fire Prevention Week this year.  Lee is very busy getting his tower and antenna back up and on the air after a wind damage event. 

I am hoping for as much help as possible for operation of N7F. 

Dates are  4 - 10 October.  Operations between 0001Z on 4 October through 2359Z on 10 October. Please see Hamfire.com for details.  

I need a list of folks who can and will operate for some periods through the week.  I will send out the safety tips for this year to you.  You can operate any mode at any time on any band - just check the collectors.  The more the merrier. 

Please drop me an email (KK7CJV@proton.me) and let me know if you can participate.  

Anyone in the 7th call district can participate - just have them contact me so I have a list of folks to correspond with and gather logs from.  

Thank you in advance.  I certainly appreciate your interest and willingness to help out! 

73,

Stacy KK7CJV

Help Needed for Fire Prevention Week - N7F in October

 From Lee Barrett

Due to my being QRT on HF with the collapse of my Log Periodic AND the new tower delivery is out a number of weeks, I will not be able to lead and organized the N7F Fire Prevention Week operation this year.  I would truly appreciate someone stepping in for me this year.  In the past, a number of you local people have stepped up and operated.  Last year we had around 1000 QSOs - a record number for the 7th call district.  I also have received help for the operation from Arizona, Oregon and Montana hams from time-to-time and it is likely they can assist again.  If anyone can step-up and lead this in 2016, that would be a relief and a great service.  Please contact me ate 801.643.1559 if you have a desire to fill in.  73, Lee - K7NM

Antenna Parts

 From Lee Barrett

Due to the untimely demise of my M2 HF log periodic (built with heavy duty aluminum elements), I have some of the element halves that are largely undamaged.  I also have the boom (roughly 30' long) of 3" diameter heavy wall aluminum.  The later could be used as a 40m vertical with the appropriate rope guys and radials.  The former elements could be used for higher band antennas in either vertical or perhaps yagi configuration for the VHF bands or 6m.  If anyone is in the antenna building mood, come over and take a look.  First come - first served.  I am going to keep the heap here until the new Log Periodic is up on the new tower - then it goes to the recycling place (what is left).  Give me a call before you come.  801.643.1559.  73, Lee - K7NM.
