Spring is here! And nothing says spring better than NVIS Antenna Day! It is a chance to get out of the shack you have been cooped up in all winter and set up a field station! It’s also your chance to win a prize. A prize will be given to anyone who makes a contact with their own homebuilt NVIS antenna, (as long it isn’t an inverted V!).
Every year that Jerry Shipp W1SCR and Michael Sien KD8SOH have hosted NVIS Day the only antennas that people bring are the Standard inverted V’s…..
This year we are looking for the most creative antenna that can make contacts in Ohio especially to The ARES team in Columbus. “There will be one prize $50 for the antenna that Jerry and I decide is the best”.
Note: Inverted V’s will not be eligible to win a prize! In case of a tie the one with the most contacts in Ohio will win! Remind everybody to bring a log! Also if one antenna really stands out it still has to make a contact in Ohio to win!
We will have coffee and donuts available at 8:30 AM and lunch will be served at 12 noon. Hamburgers, Hot Dogs and snacks….
Come join us…
