Field stations were setup by Lem, ZS1LEM and Matt, ZS1MTF and Chris, ZS1CDG setup a demo of QO-100 as well, although this was not classed as a field station as some elements required AC from the clubhouse.
Lem’s setup was a vertical dipole for 40m HF and he began working a number of stations. Matt brought along ex-miltary B25 and setup a Dipole on 20m.
The bands seemed quiet but Chris, ZS1CDG worked ZS6J after a few calls of CQ on the B25. Both Matt and Lem had good DC power systems, with a number of solar panels providing auxiliary power to the main batteries.
James ZS1RBT, Paul ZS1S, Celso ZS1MYG, Barry ZS1FJ, Elsabe and John ZS1AGH, all popped in to have a look at how we were doing. After we had had our fill of playing radio the braai was lit and we shared a meal and some fun stories around the table.
